Ever wanted to feel like you could make a difference? Even a small one?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Big charities can make big differences, and when it’s a question of large scale natural disasters there’s no doubting the good they can do, but that doesn’t mean the giant charities are the only piece in the puzzle of making a better life. A lot of people see big charities as being bogged down by admin, or inefficient, and they feel that their own donations or contributions are lost like drops in an ocean.<\/p>\n

So what if you could create a small charity and make a small difference yourself, one you can really see?<\/p>\n

That’s exactly what Ann Maasb\u00f8l<\/a> and her family did when they started MASD (Make A Small Difference)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re from Denmark<\/a> and we’ve been here in Vietnam for ten years\u201d explains Ann. \u201cWe accidentally came across a daycare shelter in the Mekong Delta on our travels and saw that they had nothing. We talked with them and it occurred to us that we wanted to do something where we could see where our money went. So we put some money in to begin with.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was four years ago. Now Ann does the practical work for the shelter with monthly visits, the family helps with food, clothes, and repairs, and even their children are involved working on the social media. When Ann met Push Climbing’s Yulya<\/a> they talked and the kids were invited for a day on the climbing wall. Which is what you see in the pictures. \u201cThe people at Push were really good and super friendly. While the kids were shy at first it took about fifteen minutes before they were all running around and having fun \u2013 a couple of them even made it to the top.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile MASD is also growing and stretching outwards.<\/p>\n
