Mission Statement
Buds to Blossoms provides direct care to AIDS orphans, other children affected by HIV/AIDS, and orphans with disabilities in Vietnam and Nepal, to foster their health, well-being and development.
About This Cause
Buds to Blossoms brings international teams of volunteers to Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon), Vietnam and Kathmandu, Nepal. There the volunteers provide massage to AIDS orphans, other children affected by HIV/AIDS, and orphans with disabilities to foster their health, well-being and development. Although the infants and children we work with receive treatments which help them recover and slow progression of the disease, some of them continue to have AIDS-related medical problems. Some live in orphanages where there are relatively few adult caregivers and volunteer help is crucial to meeting their needs. Massage is of particular value to the children because its immune system-strengthening effect may improve their compromised health. Massage also promotes the children's well-being by bringing relief from pain and anxiety and helping meet their emotional and developmental needs for one-on-one nurturing attention and touch.
