The idea of the project comes from direct contact with the discomfort that lies behind the scenes of contemporary life.
The opportunity comes with a trip to Saigon (HCMC), made by Elisabetta Susani, to support and document the voluntary activities of Anna Borghi, recently graduated at Brera, working at the school of Pho Cap.
The first goal is to give a contribution to the canteen service, providing a hot meal for the students. The only meal of their hard day.
But avoiding starvation is not enough.
The project starts from the discussion about conditions, needs and opportunities for children and young people in a context like Vietnam, apparently very distant from Italy.
On her return, Elisabetta tells the experience to her colleague Laura Tonani and highlights her wish to allow little Vietnamese to meet students and professors of the MA Degree in Therapeutic Art.
