Round one of our photo competition ended on the 20th November 2011 and we raised $100 for the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation and received the following letter:
Dear Ingrid & Scott and Cruising Plus,
I write to acknowledge your donation of $100.00 received 29th November, 2011.
On behalf of the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation we extend our sincerest thanks to you for your support.
At present, we are channelling as many donations as possible towards the CNCF Centre of Social Assistance for Disadvantaged Children (CSADC) in Vietnam. The CNCF Australia Committee of Management has selected the CSADC as the beneficiary of our major fundraising and donation activities. Our supporters, sponsors and donors who take the opportunity to visit the Foundation in Vietnam have the chance to tour the CSADC and witness our funds at work.
Built in 1990, and jointly managed by the CNCF and the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA), the CSADC was the city’s first intensive rehabilitation centre for young malnourished and physically challenged children.
Today the CNCF CSADC provides a high standard of free medical care, nutritional and functional rehabilitation, and education to children aged 0 to 6 years who are orphans, disadvantaged, physically or mentally challenged, deformed, disfigured or underprivileged. These children are typically unable to afford or access the most basic medical treatment and preschool education.
The CSADC consists of:
- an intensive monitoring unit for malnourished children,
- a residential floor for children under 6 years old with a disability,
- an outpatient clinic, with a capacity to receive and examine 10,000 to 16,000 children each year,
- a kindergarten facility for 30 children from poverty stricken families.
Additionally, the CSADC maintains a continual focus towards training the developing the three foreign personnel and 57 local staff.
You can view the list of other Projects being undertaken in Vietnam and Mongolia at our website (www.cncf.org).
Thank you once again for your support.
Kind regards,
