Blue Dragon's mission is to provide exceptional care to Vietnamese children and families in crisis while creating long-term change for a better world. Blue Dragon works according to the following values: - Respect, not pity: The children we work with are treated with at least the same respect that we would treat our own sons and daughters, brothers and sisters. - Development, not charity: Our work is to help children develop fully as they grow, through providing a broad range of experiences and opportunities. Rather than simply provide a handout, we provide a hand up for those who choose to better their circumstances and themselves. - Empowerment, not dependency: Our role is to provide opportunities for children to pursue as individuals, rather than to force our views or values on to the children. - Collaboration, not control: Our staff work alongside the children and their families, so that the beneficiaries are involved in all stages of our programs, rather than simply being recipients of charity. - Massive interventions, not quick-fix solutions: We tackle the problem of poverty from every angle, rather than focusing on one obvious cause or effect. Our interventions may take years, as we persist until we are successful.
To ensure we use our knowledge and resources to make a positive and decisive difference to people, communities and organisations, with a vision to be an excellent, accessible, globally engaged University contributing positively to a thriving Northern economy.

Taghyeer Organization/ We Love Reading Program is an innovative model that provides a practical, cost efficient, sustainable, grassroots approach empowering communities from low and mid income communities around the world to create changemakers through reading. WLR supports the activism of local volunteers to increase reading levels among children 2-10 by focusing on the readaloud experience to instill the love of reading for pleasure among children to become lifelong learners. We aim to create system change. We create changemakers by recruiting and training adults and youth from local communities to provide read-aloud sessions for local children in safe, public spaces. Each year, WLR volunteers read to tens of thousands of children in public parks, community centers, mosques and other faith-based settings, nurseries, refugee camps, and other locales. We serve diverse populations and communities irrespective of gender, religion, social status, disability, literacy level, educational experience, etc. The training is either implemented in face-to-face settings or via our online platform to allow reaching wider audience of people wanting to volunteer and become reading ambassadors.
