Ongoing Activities - Please call the coordinator if you are planning to attend. 
 We encourage members to start new groups! Share your interests and talents!

Babies' Group - rotates around each others' homes on various weekday morning often between 10-12pm. There is no fixed time or day, but it is regular. Groups are for parent and child. We have several fathers who attend, so Dads should also be encouraged to make contact and attend.  To attend the playgroup, you also need to volunteer to hold playgroup at your home on a regular basis. We now have 4 groups running.

We also have a Facebook support site for parents in HCMC called the Vietnam mummy network (Dads can also join). People need to join Facebook.com and search for the group. They can be invited on or request to join. It is not a public site, so non members can't look through our info which may contain contacts, etc.. and photos of the groups. On the site people can buy, sell exchange, borrow things; ask for information where to buy things, or how have others solved problems. eg. feeding, sleeping...
