I have a lady who comes to Viet Nam from Canada and brings about 200lbs of very good clothes for kids with her. Last time she was here I introduced her to a charity called HOW. She now has asked me if I know of any worthy orphanages in the Central Highlands that may be for minority kids. The clothes are in excellent condition and she will pay to have them sent to the orphanage or arrange for them to be collected in Saigon . Any help would be useful.

I belong to another blog site made up of former military who served in the Central Highlands (Pleiku area).聽 They support an orphanage there.聽 I've sent an email to them about this.聽 Will report back when I hear from them.

Made contact with someone who wrote, "Yes they can contact me, I can see they get delivered and some photo's of delivery.
I have many great contacts in the highlands and jan.-14 will be my 13th -1 month trip in 9 years.
thank you,
Gene"
What is the best way to get everyone together?
