Part of my hearty #AsianBreakfast today is chai tow kway -> savoury #radish cake. I had it #TeochewViet style - fried, without eggs & with nuoc cham sauce poured over them.
When I do them traditional Teochew Chinese style, we fry them with eggs & eat them with a soy sauce/red vinegar/chili sauce blend.
Asher had breakfast earlier & was keeping my seat warm 😸

I've connected with a local #Vietnamese #nonprofit organization. I look forward to helping them expand their work here, in BC, across Canada & overseas, in Vietnam.

Soul of Vietnam Foundation is a non-profit organization under Societies Act based in #BritishColumbia #Canada, dedicated to fostering cultural understanding, supporting newcomers, & aiding impoverished communities in #Vietnam. Registered Number: S0080444

Work that VOV does:

Cultural Festivals and Celebrations:
Organizing traditional festivals, cultural performances, and art exhibitions to promote Vietnamese heritage and traditions.

Workshops and Seminars:
Conducting workshops on Vietnamese culture, language, and history for locals and tourists.

Cultural Exchange Programs:
Facilitating exchange programs that enable participants to experience and learn about different cultures within and outside Vietnam.

FREE Language Classes:
To facilitate smoother integration into Canadian society, we provide free English and French language classes. These classes are tailored to different proficiency levels and are designed to help newcomers gain confidence in their language skills.

FREE Settlement Services:
Our settlement services are dedicated to assisting newcomers with practical needs such as finding housing, securing employment, and navigating healthcare and education systems. Our team of experienced professionals is here to guide and support you every step of the way.

FREE Mentorship Programs:
We connect newcomers with established Vietnamese-Canadian mentors who offer guidance and support during their adjustment period. Our mentors provide valuable insights, share experiences, and help newcomers build a supportive network in their new community.

Educational Assistance Education:
Is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty. We provide scholarships, school supplies, and educational programs to children from low-income backgrounds in Vietnam. Our goal is to create opportunities for these children to succeed academically and build a brighter future.

Community Development Projects:
Our community development projects focus on improving the quality of life in impoverished areas of Vietnam. From building clean water systems to developing sustainable agricultural practices, we work closely with local communities to create lasting positive change.
