Blue Dragon reaches out to kids in crisis throughout Vietnam. Their residential facilities, centre and programs give children and youth a new chance in life: the chance to have a home, a good education and a happy, stable life.
They aim to break the poverty cycle by offering education, training and job opportunities to those who need them the most:street kids, child victims of trafficking, and the rural poor. Langports has been assisting Blue Dragon for the last two years by sponsoring 10 of their children. These are some of the Langports sponsored children and their interests.
