Viet Horizon Club "Loving Bridge Project"

May 13, 2012
Day 6 of the Kids Without Borders - Rotary HumaniTour Viet Nam

Tonight a concert is organized on behalf of Kids Without Borders to raise funds for the "Loving Bridge Project". This project by our partner Viet Nam based charity organization Viet Horizon Club is to fund for a replacement bridge in the central area of Viet Nam. The Bong Lai hamlet is located in Hung Trach Commune (Bo Trach District) in Quang Binh Province. The small wooden bridge over the Bung River was destroyed during one of the many typhoons and for the last two years the river divided this hamlet in two. Half of the population of 1,200 (270 households) live on one side of the river across from the other half. In order to visit the market, go to school, ... one has to walk or swim across the Bung River.

All proceed from the concert will go to support the construction of a replacement bridge for the people of Bong Lai. All musicians and performers donate their time and talent to this concert.
Also in attendance beside our HumaniTour team are our friends Roni and Laurens Wildeboer from Artists for Orphans (Australia), and members and families of KWB Teach Me To Fish program.
