Which email address shall we use?
Do you use Skype? If so, let us know your Skype name.
What is the best number to contact you on if we need to?
Which country are you from?
And what do you do for work?
In case of an emergency, who should we contact?
What date would you like to start volunteering with us?
MM slash DD slash YYYY
And what date did you have in mind for finishing your time with us?
MM slash DD slash YYYY
Now we would like to ask you a few more questions to better understand you and what you want out of your volunteering experience with us in Vietnam. This shouldn't take more than 15 minutes.
So, what are your motivations to volunteer at the Christina Noble Children's Foundation?
Are you prepared to work with under privileged children and children with a disability?
Do you have any concerns or doubts about this?
While working in our centre, it is completely natural to build a close rapport with the children, often one in particular. How do you propose to spread your attention evenly between all the children as well as manage the impact on the children upon your departure from Vietnam?
Do you have any experience working in a similar role? Please briefly outline below.
The minimum volunteering commitment is usually 2 months with some exceptions. This is both for the benefit of the children and volunteers. What are your thoughts about this time commitment?
Volunteers are required to work particular hours and stick to a regular schedule with a variety of responsibilities involving the children in our Centre. They should also fill in forms for daily and monthly reports. What are your thoughts about this?
Do you prefer to work in a team or in autonomy? Please give your reasons why below.
Medical practices in Vietnam differ from those seen in more developed countries. How would you react if you saw that the treatment for scabies or lice (for example) was not the same as in your own country?
What is your expectation of the medical techniques and hygiene in Vietnam and those in the medical centre at the Foundation?
The medical centre is fully staffed by Vietnamese nationals. In the centre, volunteers work as a team alongside Vietnamese people. How would you approach building rapport with the Vietnamese staff?
The dress standards in Vietnam are quite conservative. The country's climate is also tropical and as such is very humid. It is expected that dress is modest and respectful to the culture in Vietnam. How do you think this may be an issue and how would you overcome it?
Vietnam is a developing country and as such is very different from countries in the developed world. Vietnamese culture is quite traditional and very different from others. Are you prepared to adapt to this change in your way of life? How do you plan to adapt and learn about the culture?
What problems would you envisage experiencing in Vietnam and how would you overcome them?
Do you have any further comments you would like to share with us?
Finally, have you read the volunteer handbook and agreed to the terms?*

Batbayar is 14 years old and the oldest brother to his siblings with his youngest brother only 8 months old, they were abandoned by their father and looked after by their single mother. Their living conditions in destitute and transient housing for most of the children’s young lives have caused significant physical and mental impacts on this young family. Batbayar is in year 9 and loves going to school along with his siblings but the unstable housing conditions make it extremely hard for him to maintain his studies. Batbayar and his family have been renting a dilapidated Ger for 6 years, finding minimal shelter from the harsh elements but the owner of the Ger now wants the property back forcing the family to live on the streets. Batbayar’s mother has pleaded for the owner to wait until after the harsh winter season has passed as they have nowhere else to go. Batbayar’s mother is unable to find stable work due to low skills, no qualifications. The total family income each month is $101 USD which is not enough to cover the families basic necessities let alone a new home.

What is CNCF’s Give A Ger Programme and how will it transform this family’s life?

The Give-a-Ger Programme was established in Mongolia by Christina Noble in 2001 to provide children and families living in horrifying circumstances new beautiful traditional Mongolian Ger homes to live in. In Ulaanbaatar, the coldest capital city in the world, with temperatures regularly reaching -30 C and -40 C, having a place of shelter from the elements is essential for survival but people living in extreme poverty have no choice but to find shelter under cold stairwells, dilapidated wooden coal sheds, or in run-down damaged gers. For many vulnerable people living in these harsh conditions, having the warmth and security of a home is just a dream but together, we can make this a reality.

With your help, Batbayar’s family will receive a sustainable, enduring, highest quality five-wall ger with a full set of furniture including sofas with expandable beds, table/desk, chairs, kitchen unit, wardrobe, drawers and a ger stove used for both cooking and for keeping the family warm. We purchase all of our gers from a well-known and reputable Mongolian company that uses only the best quality wood and insulating felt on the market. With your help, CNCF can support Batbayar’s family by providing them with a warm, comfortable and stable home out of the harsh winter cold this Christmas. By providing a home you not only provide safety and shelter but stability for the children to continue their education, better conditions for the health of the family and a beautiful home they so desperately need and truly deserve.

*Names and identities of those featured have been changed for Child Protection.

Please help us to reach our goal of $3,800 USD to support Batbayar and his family this Christmas,
YOU can be a part of transforming this family’s life.
