Had a blast last night at the annual Auscham Ball. All proceeds this year are going to an amazing organisation called KOTO. Standing for Know One, Teach One, KOTO is a non-for profit restaurant and vocational training program that is changing the lives of street and disadvantaged youth in Vietnam. The concept of KOTO began on the streets of Hanoi when an Australian Vietnamese man, Mr Jimmy Pham, asked a group of street kids what they wanted out of life. They simply replied, "we need skills so we can find stable jobs" and so the concept of KOTO was born.
KOTO has grown from a small sandwhich shop in Hanoi to a 120 seat restaurant and an internationally accredited hospitality program that gives some very special young people the start in life that everyone deserves. The program is soon to set up here in Saigon and it was great to be able to support it! The night was a roaring success, pun intended!
