Their health, education and other needs are not adequately met giving them a hard time to survive and lesser opportunities to improve their lives.
These problems being experienced by families there could be solved with the help of volunteers from different parts of the world. One of the opportunities available in helping others in these situations is by going on Vietnam mission trips with an added chance of being able to live there. A communist country, Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia and it is starting its recovery from the hardships it experienced during and after the war.

This is because the country has opened itself up to the global economy after the trade embargo due to the war has been lifted. The economic situation has improved over the years but this has not been felt by everyone yet.

Specific conditions are also being addressed such as giving eyeglasses to those that are unable to see clearly anymore. Dental check ups are also done to help improve their teeth and by giving dentures to those who requires them. Wheelchairs and other forms of walking aids are also provided to persons with disabilities.
Education is given about various fields and skills that may be helpful in improvement of their conditions. The volunteers are teaching them English and skills like swimming which helps in their survival as drowning was found to be the number one cause of death for children in the country. This would help them survive being in water either by accident or not.
