I will be traveling to Vietnam in June as a part of a trip called "Operation Reunite: Homeward Bound." It is for all those babies at the end of the Vietnam war that were airlifted out and adopted by US families. I am one of those babies and World Airways is flying my mom and I along with 19 other adoptees and their guests. One of our stops will be to an orphanage and I was looking for ways to raise money to give to them. Please help me with suggestions. I was thinking of just sending out a mass e-mail for paypal donations, but maybe there is another way that would be more fun.

The real need of ALL the orphanages is for Medical
Supplies, Equipment and MONEY. Considering the short time before departure, you might
Consider using the money you would use in purchasing supplies as a donation instead.
A more practical gift may be your own effort to obtain contributions from your friends and familiy.a dollar here, a dollar there. Or to make a small personal sacrifice in donating what you would spend on yourself. Place the money in an envelope, and if exchange is required, you will do that on arrival...afterwards you can have the pleasure of giving the envelop to them yourself.
