This volunteer work will impact my career to work for a nonprofit organization. I will make a difference in the lives of poor children with teaching them English and other skills needed for a better education and life for them. I myself grew up poor and was the only one out of my family to graduate high school. I was also the only one to go off to college. I had to take speach therapy for 4 years and without it I probably wouldn't have been able to do everything that I have. These children have it much worse than I did, so helping them would come full circle because I was helped out when I needed it. I chose this destination because there are plenty of children living on the streets that can be helped out by teaching them English and other skills to give them an opportunity in life. VCV also does other things to help out the community in Vietnam. When I was in the Army I completed two tours to Iraq. I was also fortunate enough to do a few humanitarian missions. Doing these missions gave me joy during a time of war, and watching the local people smiling and crying made me feel good about humanity. Please help out with anything that you can so I can help those in need. Thank you for your time.
