Review for Rock-Paper-Scissors Children's Fund , Wakefield, RI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

In July 2015, I was lucky to travel with Rock Paper Scissors to Vietnam and witness first hand the work that RPS has undertaken. Vietnam is a beautiful country but many of the people live in poverty. RPS empowers lives by providing support and enrichment by way of art and music programs, sponsorship in educational pursuits and bicycles for transportation to school.
As a volunteer, I helped to provided art and music camps for children in remote villages and I taught violin lessons to disadvantaged youths in Cam DĂșc. RPS also coordinated with the local Red Cross to identify children at risk and in need of a bicycle to help their family and ride to school. The delight of the children, their resourcefulness, gratitude and dedication will stay with me my whole life.
