2016 MOBIL HEALTHCARE CLINIC TRIP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UCJ7kJeUww
Established in 2008, Volunteers for Medical Outreach (VMO) is a student run organization composed of highly dedicated UC Berkeley students at the University of California, Berkeley.
VMO works with Aid for Children Without Parents (ACWP) reach their goals. To integrate their efforts, they travel alongside ACWP doctors, and Vietnamese volunteer staff during medical mobile clinic trips . VMO members fundraise and collect donations throughout the academic year to buy medicines and medical supplies needed to run mobile clinics, hepatitis B vaccination clinics, and corrective surgery programs held each summer in Vietnam. In addition, VMO members assist doctors during clinical sessions as well as teach basic health lessons to school children.
During the VMO mobile clinic trips, their members write about their experiences to not only share with others, but also to self reflect. Follow them and their stories at :

- “My village never had access to the clean water we needed to sustain all of our people until ACWP. They came to us with open arms and big smiles, helping us install multiple wells and educating us about the importance of clean drinking water. They have helped us so much!" Dam Sam Village Elder
- ... And now with the golden hearts of the people from both sides of the Pacific Oceans, BLOOM Training Restaurant is a dream that came true for the disadvantaged youths. BLOOM will provide a safe environment where they can make mistakes, learn, and gain confidence while becoming self-reliant and self-sufficient through their hard work; and in return giving hope to the next generation of BLOOM recipient. www.bloomsaigon.com Ton Nu Hoang Linh Lycee Marie Curie Class of 75' San Jose, CA USA
Aid to Children Without Parents, Inc. (ACWP), formerly known as Aid to Refugee Children Without Parents, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) charitable, tax-exempt, non-profit organization.
ACWP’s mission is to help disadvantaged children gain self-sufficiency through education, vocational training, preventive healthcare services, emergency relief program, and short-term financial support.
We’re here for the children and because of the children. The mission was true then (1988) and is still true now, 28 years later we still help “one child at a time.”
We focus on children.
We help one child at a time.
We take on the cases no one else is willing to take.
We promote self-sufficiency.

SCIC-Saving children in Crisis
ACWP took a huge leap in 2017 to expand our mission and vision. We are starting a non-profit post-secondary vocational school called Knowledge Innovations Academy! www.kiacademyusa.org .
The school will offer basic level courses in Accounting, Computer Applications, Culinary, Electronics Engineering Technician, and English. We believe that education has always been the root of change. Helping students develop marketable skills in addition to personnel development so students are able to contribute to society is our number one priority. We aim to provide career and education opportunities to children and disadvantaged people at the local and international level.
If you are interested in helping us fulfill ACWP’s next chapter, please feel free to contact us at kiainfo@acwp.org. Your continued support and encouragement help us help one child at a time.
Imagine your 5 yr old daughter, son, nephew/niece, or even just a child next door being sold as slaves for sex with grown men!
We’re talking about the horrific crimes that go on behind closed doors in third world countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. Unfortunately, such crime does exist and these children are victims of a fast growing industry of “child sex trafficking”. What can we do to stop this? How can we help?
