Humanitarian Services for Children of Vietnam

"Humanitarian Services for Children of Vietnam" (HSCV) - non-profit charitable organization helping orphans, homeless children and other needy children in Vietnam. Established in 2001 by Chuck DeVet and his daughter Annetta in the United States.

Many of the HSCV charitable projects are implemented in Hanoi or its suburbs, where it supplies food, shelter, clothing, health and education directly to the children or through local Vietnamese organizations. The institution cooperates with adopting agencies in related issues and involves volunteers. [ [http://www.volunteermatch.org/results/opp_detail.jsp?oppid=337267 Volunteer Match] ]
