Rose Charities Vietnam is delighted to welcome Libby Madden to our Board. Libby and her husband James live in Brisbane, Australia. They work in the aged care sector to which Libby brings her considerable skills, including degrees in Nutrition and Gerontology.
Libby went to Vietnam for the first time in 2003 and "fell in love with the country and the people". She has been back seven times, visiting Rose VN projects in Ho Chi Minh City on a number of those occasions. Libby has given Rose VN a great deal of support over the years.
In 2010 Rose Vietnam shifted its focus to Hue, where we now have a number of projects including building houses for the poor, education support, a school for blind adults and income generation. Libby plans to visit Hue in 2012, (and is currently learning Vietnamese!) While there she will evaluate a new community development project in Thanh Thien village.
Libby joins current board members Mr. Phuoc Chi Nguyen, Louis Lap Nguyen, Hanh-Thuc Nguyen and Jan Johnston.
