Street children are a world wide phenomenon, but every city, town and country has its own idiosyncrasies and issues.

 Blue Dragon Children's Foundation works closely with hundreds of street children and victims of trafficking in Hanoi and throughout Vietnam. Why are children in this rapidly developing nation taking to the streets? What opportunities are they seeking, and what dangers are awaiting them? And most importantly of all – what can be done to help them?

Michael Brosowski, the director and founder of Blue Dragon, will present a short talk accompanied by a visual presentation at the Betel Box on Friday September 21, at 7.00pm. Michael will be accompanied by some young adults who he met as shoeshine boys but who are now in regular study or employment.

Attendance at this presentation is on invitation only. Please write to us at info@betelbox.com for an invite.
