We first developed a strong base at the Women and Children Hospital of Da Nang. There, we built our team, consolidated our activities and formed our expertise. We are now building partnerships in other hospitals in Da Nang and looking forward to offer our services in other Vietnamese cities. 

We always operate, at least, in teams of two and with minimum one local volunteer to ensure good communication between everyone. Working in teams is important to us because it promotes creativity, heterogeneity, collaboration and momentum. 

The goal for each of our action is to promote children’s empowerment and to make them feel they can laugh and play, as children should be. We want to make them feel like they can have a choice and that their individuality is important, in a setting where their decision making is very limited. Working in group settings, the children can also enjoy playing together, making friends and enhance their bond. The parents can also benefit from these activities, by seeing their child succeed, and be happy on top of sharing positive moments with them. They can use these activities to meet other parents that live in a similar situation or take a moment by themselves as a short respite. Furthermore, laughing, creating and moving has been scientifically proven to be calming and stress-relieving.
