Seeds Of Love (159) Blue Dragon Children's Foundation

In October 2002 Michael Brosowski, an Australian teacher, arrives in Vietnam to work at Hanois National University. Within two months, Michael finds himself teaching English to a group of kids he never expected to meet: shoeshine boys who walked the streets hoping to earn enough money to survive.

Enlisting the help of one of his university students, Pham Sy Chung, Michael teaches weekly classes in English, maths, art and yoga to 5-10 shoeshine boys. They start a football team. More and more kids seek their help, and by the end of 2003, Michael and Chung decide to create their own organisation: Blue Dragon is born.
