Hey there and welcome to the Armed with a Paintbrush blog! If you’ve found us, you’re likely one of our long-time supporters. Otherwise, you’ve got a lot of passion for helping out disadvantaged Vietnamese youth and some remarkably accurate search engine skills.

So in the case you don’t know that Armed with a Paintbrush is a charitable non-profit established to support organizations that serve disadvantaged and displaced youth in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, it is. How do we go about our work? By running painting classes for Saigon’s street kids and helping them sell their artwork, the proceeds of which go to our partner organizations, all of which provide services to our artists.

So whether you’re a new or old friend of AWAP, we hope you’ll swing by often to catch up on the latest development news, samples of our artists’ newest work, and other resources to keep you educated about and provide you with an outlet to aid the youth we serve.
