Australia, 26/3/07

Soft adventure travel is growing in popularity with families wishing to do something
other than lay on a beach for their holidays. Countries like Vietnam, Thailand,
Borneo and India are emerging as favourites. The owners http://www.byokids.com.au
...your family travel gurus, one of Australia\'s leading travel websites recently
travelled to Vietnam and Thailand to explore the options for family travellers.

One of the highlights of their journey was visiting orphanages in Vietnam and
Thailand. They ventured deep into the highlands of Vietnam, hiring a car, driver
and guide to get them to the small town of Kom Tum were the orphanages are
struggling to put food on the table for over 400 young Vietnamese children. The
orphanages turn no one away, taking in Newborns through to teenagers.

Leah and her family took school supplies including writing books, pencils and
Vietnamese story books as gifts. Along with soccer balls, toothpaste, toothbrushes,
soaps and provided a cash donation to buy a meal for the kids. They spent the day
at the orphanage where their boys aged 9 and 10 joined in for the day of learning
and sport.

They then headed to the North of Thailand near the Burmese border and spent an
afternoon with orphans playing in the rice stacks of the nearby paddocks. They
prepared a meal with the children and donated sporting equipment and food as gifts.


Leah owner of http://www.byokids.com.au ...your family travel gurus said \"it\'s been
a wonderful experience for all of us, especially our boys. We are so thankful that
they allowed us into their lives, we were pleased to see all the kids so healthy and
happy. They are so friendly, they give you all they have in the form of love and
laughter. They are truly inspirational kids, they are so positive, confident and
happy.\"
