The simple answer to this is that the cost of shipping an actual container to Vietnam at this stage is proving rather expensive. Until we can find a more cost effective contact to do this, an idea was suggested that we do a VIRTUAL CONTAINER.
As you can see by the two design plans there will be many rooms in the new centre. They will need to be filled with adequate furnishing before disabled children in Vietnam can come to get special care, education, vocational training and rehabilitation. Your help in making this possible would be greatly appreciated.

While the building is being built in Vietnam for us to help disabled children, we are thinking ahead and came up with the idea of getting as many people involved to help furnished the soon to be finished Grace Centre.

It is sometimes difficult to buy gifts for those who has everything or don't need much from others.
Why not buy a gift voucher from us indicating that this voucher goes towards helping and purchasing certain items to furnish our Grace Centre? Our virtual container allows people to select what particular of furnishing they would like to help us in.
This is the gift of giving to help us help disadvantaged children in Vietnam find employment and have an education.
