VietACT 2006
The CPP’s first recipient was The Vietnamese Alliance to Combat Trafficking (VietACT), a grassroots organization dedicated to eradicating human trafficking of Vietnamese victims. VSA’s around the country worked collectively and together, we raised more than $32,000 for the organization, which was used to start an internship program for young leaders who wanted to get directly involved in fighting trafficking.

Catalyst Foundation 2007
Our second recipient was Catalyst Foundation, which received $48,556 from our campaign. The money was used to build schools and help kids who lived in a junkyard in Rach Gia in Vietnam. Volunteers were able to travel to Rach Gia during the summer to help build the schools. It was a life changing experience as they interacted with the villagers and kids of the area. They witnessed the daily lives of these villagers and talked about the dreams and aspiration the young children have.

We raised $51,536 for VOICE, and the money was used to build a community center to benefit Vietnamese refugees in Cambodia who have no homes and are unable to attain jobs. Over a year’s course VOICE was able to get 5,000 of these refugees legally into Canada, America, Europe and Australia.
