8 Hours for Hope (8H4H)

Most of us go to work every day, we make money to support ourselves and our family, but have you ever had a thought of why not do something different, something that adds new meaning to your day at work - that is to work not for your own benefits but for the poor children in Vietnam.

H4H launched its first "8 Hours For Hope" on the 12th of December 2005. We hope our members will be enthusiastic in participating in this new campaign.

Any individual or a group can donate a day or part of a working day's income to Hands for Hope, to allow much needed work to continue in helping disadvantage children in Vietnam. This is a new & exciting way to contribute to a good cause. The funds generated will be used to support our education projects as well as other projects such as medical or infrastructure initiatives.

Be it a teacher, a factory worker, a lawyer, an accountant, everyone can participate in this event by ‘giving a hand to make a difference.’

“We would like to see 8 Hours For Hope be recognised and become an annual event. On this particular day, participants from different professions and industries will come to work just like any other day but with one difference, knowing their effort on that day will help the children in Vietnam help themselves out of illiteracy and poverty”. Mr Cuong Tran, Hands For Hope Project Director.

To register your interest for 8H4H or if you would like further information please contact us.
