Boy Scouts of America Eagle Project
My name is Ashton Omdahl of Troop 137 in Sharpsburg, Georgia and I am working on my Boy Scout Eagle service and leadership project. My project aims to serve the Thuy An Orphanage for the disabled located just outside of Hanoi, Vietnam. The orphanage is home to about 150 children who have been abandoned or who come from destitute families unable to care for a disabled child. The orphanage provides basic care and education for the children, but many of its facilities are in poor repair as there are simply too many children in need.
My project aims to assist the orphanage become more self-sufficient by expanding the water storage and irrigation system for its small gardens. This project will allow the orphanage to expand the gardens to feed more children and also earn income in the local market. In addition, some of the buildings in need of restoration will be cleaned, furnished and painted, and other supplies will be donated. With support from friends, mentors at UNIS Hanoi and other scouts, I will carry out the project in June 2011.
The estimated budget for this project is $3000. I sincerely appreciate any and all donations- no donation is too small! All donors will be able to track my progress and see the improvements made by my project on the pages of this web site.
