Welcome to Hands for Hope
Hands for Hope (H4H) is a registered non-profit charity organisation in Australia. Our aim is to provide direct support to disadvantaged children in remote regions of Vietnam. H4H's projects focus on key areas of education sponsorship, school construction and repair and corrective surgery. All H4H members are un-paid volunteers and our projects are directly managed by these dedicated members.
Hands for Hope organises fundraising events throughout the year, and also rely on the continual support of generous individuals and organisations, major sponsors and fundraising partners to enable us to fund our projects. We gratefully acknowledge these support and encouragement.

Lunar “Tet” festival at Sandown
We recently held an information stall at the Tet festival in Sandown Racecourse over the three days of 8-10th Feb 2008. Our members were on hand to answer enquiries from the general public and also took the opportunity to catch up with sponsors and friends of H4H who visited the stall.
On display were video, posters and plenty of information about our projects, and to add to the festive atmosphere, we gave away special H4H’s blue balloons to the eager young visitors.
Once again, the support and encouragement we received from members of the community were overwhelming and greatly appreciated. A total of $2065.35 in donation was received, all of which will be used to help the children in Vietnam. Thank you to everyone who participated, donated or simply stopped by the stall to say hello.
