ACTS Kampot, 13 - 20 Jun 2020

Kampot located in South Cambodia, is a 3 hours’ drive from Phnom Penh International Airport where ACTS will run a week long outreach during our June school holiday to spend time with Cambodian young students and villagers from the Saint Augustine Kampot Archdiocese headed by Fr. Tavola Gianluca.

We will organise small and intimate groups for play, music, art and craft and fun English classes suitable for kindergarten students (and hopefully to a new Montessori kindergarten if we have sign ups who are familiar in the Montessori method of education) and Elementary Grade 1 to 3 students at different school locations.

This year, we are looking for:

A handywork’s team to build a new playground at a Catholic village centre.
Individuals who enjoys working out in the sun to harvest fruits and Kampot pepper on the farm.
Painters with a flair for mural art.
Doctors, pharmacists, dentists and medical/dental students to manage mobile clinics to some who have never been seen by medical personnel before.

Restricted to a group of 40, ACTS is looking for participants between 13 and 65 years of old with the appropriate skills set for the tasks described, be willing to commit to a complete week from 13th to 20th June, be ready to rough it out and more importantly, are happy to receive the spirit of Christ in our services and with the people that we meet.

Application closes on 29th February 2020. You will then be notified to attend a Mission Preparation Session where you can find out more details about the mission outreach and what is expected from you.

ACTS Kampot 2020 is co-ordinated by Chris & Trixie Chan and lead by our Spiritual Director Friar Esmond Chua.

ACTS Vietnam Mission, 5 - 11 July 2020

Dear friends of ACTS,

This year we are excited to carry out our mission at a new location at An Binh Elementary School which is located at Vinh Thanh, Can Tho, Vietnam.

Cần Thơ is the fourth largest city in Vietnam and the largest city in the Mekong Delta . This location is about 190km from Ho Chi Minh City & 65km from Cần Thơ city center. It will take about 5hour land journey from Tan Son Nhat International airport. This will be our 6th year of mission at Vietnam supporting the Institute of Daughters of Mary Help of Christians.

Three Salesian sisters are officially assigned since Year 2017 to manage the school, to help improve the quality of teaching and to carry out the mission of education . Many of the students have to take boats across the rivers to attend school daily as their houses are built along the riverside in this Mekong Delta region. The area is frequently flooded during the raining seasons.

During summer holidays, ACTS will run a week long programme together with the Sisters & teachers for the young children. Our activities will include conducting simple English lessons, organize art and craft and outdoor fun activities for kindergarten to elementary level as well as conduct lessons on basic hygiene habits. We will also reach out to the needy family by delivering humanitarian parcels consisting of basic food essentials.

Join us in this meaningful mission which will happen from 5th July to 11th July 2020 to share the spirit of Christ and bring joy to the people that we meet. Application closes on 29th February 2020. You will be informed to attend mission awareness & formation sessions to understand about this mission requirements. Stay tuned!

God Bless from ACTS Vietnam team
