Now that the weather is starting to get REALLY cold (I’m shivering just writing this), why not give the gift of a winter coat this year with Action Aid UK to someone who really deserves it? Now, I’m not saying that I don’t deserve a winter coat, far from it, in fact, I’m currently wearing one in the office!
But for just £20 you can give FOUR winter coats to children in a mountainous region of northern Vietnam called Da Bac, where most families can’t afford the luxury of a coat. When you think of Vietnam you think of tropical heat, yet this part of the country gets very cold with children having to make long walks to reach school.
Many children are stopped from attending school by their families rather than risk them getting ill on the walk to school. Your gift of just £20 could help provide 4 children with warm winter coats to wear so they can attend school all year round. That’s an absolute bargain, as if I wanted you to buy me a coat you’d have to spend a bit more than that to keep me happy, let me assure you!
