Going Back
When it’s time to go back to school, Vietnamese children living in extreme poverty are almost always forced to make a momentous decision.
Just Trying to Help
Tho quit school and came to the city so he could find a job and send money home. He never expected to be homeless, hungry, and alone on the streets.
The Best
There’s not much good to be said about living through a global pandemic, but experiencing such hard times has one silver lining: it brings out the best in us all.
Say’s Story
Aged 14, Say lived a simple life in the mountains of northern Vietnam – until the terrifying day her world fell apart at the hands of a human trafficker.
Tribute
Whether it’s Blue Dragon staff on the streets or people around the world who selflessly send what they can, the goodness of humanity shines through.
Getting Help
A young woman spent half her life in slavery. A young man escaped life on the streets. Both have one more major challenge left to overcome: the pandemic.
A Personal Mission
Many years ago, Vi was a lonely teen living on the streets of Hanoi. Now, he is a leader on a mission to protect the city’s street kids and keep them safe.
Spider Boy
At just 10 years old, Thang has grown up on the streets of Hanoi. But now, his life is taking a turn for the better with a little help from Blue Dragon.
Something Better
Two teens left their homes wanting to escape poverty and hardship. The dangers that they encountered are a warning to us all and a call for understanding.
A trafficker’s story
Vin committed a terrible crime and received the punishment he deserved. But could this all have been prevented? Read on for the story of a human trafficker and why they’d choose this path.
Dirty Word
A life-or-death escape from slavery in a foreign country. A desperate call for help in the dead of night. This is the reality of a rescue operation where failure could be devastating.
Chung
Life has always been very difficult for Chung. He was one of 7 brothers born into extreme poverty in an area of the city notorious for heroin and violence.
