blue dragon vietnam

My Blue Dragon workmates, from left to right, Jane, Linh and Quang. Such awesome people you'll rarely meet.

In 2011 I worked as a media consultant for Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation (BD) in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Sure was a buzz. Just the idea of helping out a bit with this great NGO made me smile. BD helps Hanoi's street kids get their lives back on track, providing a home, nutritious food and an education. Several of my workmates used to be street kids -- but then they found out about Blue Dragon, and now they are skilled young adults who have the world at their feet.

During my time at BD, I helped re-structure their online presence to optimise donor usability and promote the NGO to a global market. I created the donor and media pages, newsletters and annual reports, integrated social media tools into existing framework, and trained local NGO staff in web development and multi-media production.
