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

Rating: 5 stars  

I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to volunteer with Rock-Paper-Scissors this past summer in Vietnam. I had been to Vietnam twice prior to this trip, but both times as a tourist. To visit as a volunteer for three and a half weeks was a completely different experience. It was so gratifying to give back to the people of this beautiful country through music and art education. I think that one of the best things about this trip was that it allowed me to connect with the people whom we worked with and helped. I made friends that I will never forget, which taught me that true bonds of friendship can form even between people of very different languages and cultures. This experience also taught me to be grateful for what I have and encouraged me to help others. My trip with Rock-Paper-Scissors changed my life, and I know that every day it improves the lives of children and families in Vietnam. I respect and appreciate the Nerone family so much for having founded and continually supported this organization. I sincerely hope that donors and volunteers will give Rock-Paper-Scissors the same caliber of support that the organization provides for children in Vietnam.
