Hi! My boyfriend and I work until 5pm on Sunday's in Tan Binh district but we would love to join you for a coffee afterwards! It takes some time during these hours to get to district 1 though, as I'm sure you're aware. Is it worth it if we still come? Interested in meeting new friends and particularly interested in volunteer work. Thanks, Carla.

Hi,
We will all go for dinner and a drink later on. I'm pleased you are interested in the charity work. We just came back from evaluating the situation there. And we are sure everyone will be satisfied with our arrangements. There will be a sort tour to the island after the event for us to relax.. We will post a new thread for the charity work. And show everyone how bad some families are. Hope to see you . Will pm you my contact.

Thanks for your kind thoughts. We actually are not excepting old clothes as we have no time to sort it n a place to store. But if u are following us that day...you can bring along and give to who you want. Hope to see you today. Thank you again
Thank you for all who respond to our gathering and charity event. A small team has been working hard to make the event successful. We are just volunteers and we hope more will come forward to help in any way. More info will be given today and a new thread will be out soon. We will have a small group of gathering from time to time until the event day.
Thank you for your kind heart.
