Harvey World Travel extends helping hand to Vietnam

Harvey World Travel has extended a helping hand to more than 1.7 million underprivileged and disabled children in Vietnam by committing aid to the Loreto Vietnam Australia Program (LVAP).

Based in Vietnam, LVAP is an NGO which aims to reduce poverty through education. Since 1997, the charity has fostered an encouraging learning environment for over 10,000 children, and with support from Harvey World Travel, will provide a purpose built computer rooms for the students.

Managing Director of Harvey World Travel, David Rivers, says the business is proud to support the program by helping to provide Vietnam's poorest people with an opportunity to learn, grow and develop self-sufficient, sustainable communities.

“By supporting LVAP's mission to reduce poverty in Vietnam, we're helping the locals help themselves. With the necessary education and resources, these communities can stand firmly on their own two feet,” says Rivers.

Rivers says Harvey World Travel strongly believes sponsoring LVAP is a mutually beneficial project, not only for the Vietnamese communities, but also for HWT customers and its employees.

“We want our staff members to be proud of who they work for and enjoy a working environment with values and ethos. With this ideal in mind, we constantly encourage our staff to be involved in charity work in whatever capacity they can,” says Rivers.

"This year, Harvey World Travel celebrates its 60th anniversary. We're one of the longest established retail travel agencies in Australia and can boast over 430 travel agencies worldwide, but we're also a business that's always had an interest in sharing our successes and contributing to the greater good. Our partnership with LVAP and the people of Vietnam is legacy we want to leave behind."
