How do I donate products to Blue Dragon?
We request that gifts in-kind are brought to us rather than shipped in as customs fees are costly for us and negate the generosity of our donors.
We are also happy to arrange to go shopping with you next time you are in Hanoi or alternatively we can shop for you and send you the receipt with a photograph of your donated items.
Please fill the form below and we can provide you with further details.
