More about Giving Back, Jim and his local partner Quy who lives in Vietnam locate an opportunity to make a difference in a local village, a plan is set up before our arrival as jim says, we do the grunt work. On some trips we do multiple projects.  Throughout the trip we try and find other individuals in need, there are many in this area.  We encourage our guests to bring donations.  We bring children's toys and clothing, along with some adult clothing (sizes small).  It is also fun to have items on you while you are out to give to kids like small toys or candy.  

 A good portion of your fee for this trip goes back into the communities that we will be visiting. We get so much out of these trips we want to make sure the locals of the area know we want to give back and make a positive impact on their communities. 

We are always happy to set up a phone call to talk more about our experiences and answer any of your questions. These trips are always small groups so we are able to give you lots of personal attention.
