Be You Love You Education Fundraiser - Cover

Be You Love You was a special education based fundraising event that was organized by Seam The World at En Tea House and Restaurant on April 6th, 2016 from 6:30pm – 9pm. The purpose of the fundraiser was to raise money for school supplies for students at Ba Muoi School in Ho Chi Minh City. The theme of the fundraiser was to Be You and to Love You and having fun is one of the best ways that we can be ourselves and love ourselves. Nothing says Be You like having fun with friends.

Thanks to the delicious food, refreshing drinks and music by Mr. Rick Reid and his band Seam The World is please to say that the event was big fun success. We are very happy to say that by selling event tickets, raffles, souvenirs and donations Seam The World was able to raise 40,000,000 VND ($1,818 USD). The money will be used for educational supplies that will help students study and improve their future. While Seam The World strongly supports education we also want to teach children to be themselves and to love themselves. Our Be You, Love You is designed to teach children about their own beauty and to be empowered by who they are.

On Saturday April 9th, Seam The World visited Ba Muoi School with the educational supplies that they had raised money for. To make the day more fun Seam The World played games and brought cupcakes to decorate and eat (smiley) with Pastry Chef Yuriba Hudault. The children many who had never seen cupcakes before were creative learners with quick and impressive eating ability (smiley) The last program of the day was a Be You, Love You drawing activity. The children were asked to to draw what they love most about their body and to tell us why they loved that part of their body. The students were then asked to draw what they loved most about their friend and why. We then had a body positive talk and discussion.

A big thank you to all of Seam The World’s volunteers including Mr. Rick Ried and his band and all of our sponsors Sofitel, Vietnam Heritage Magazine, Cacdemode, SodaPop, Kokois, Decibel, Last Call, Tippy Mexican Restaurant, Thanh Xuan Spa, O&M , and Be Heard for supporting us, for caring about education, and for making the event so successful.
