Catalyst Foundation’s “Vietnam Cultural Tour” is a travel program designed for families with children adopted from Vietnam or anyone that wants to explore Vietnam’s rich diversity. It was the natural extension and development of the Catalyst Foundation Vietnam Culture Camp.
It is a great opportunity for the entire family to gain an appreciation of Vietnam and its culture. This is a travel program that allows each participant to see, smell, taste, and feel all that Vietnam has to offer.

"The Cultural Tour has given my children a stronger sense of who they are and where they come from.They feel connected to a larger community, and they desire a return to Vietnam to learn and connect even more.The kids valued being in Vietnam and are now beginning to understanding the complexities of their lives. They always took pride in being Vietnamese, but that pride is now grounded in real awareness."

"Be prepared for a high-paced tour, and to step outside your comfort zone. We would highly recommend traveling with the tour group rather than just as a family because it was great for our kids to have others to connect with on the trip. Seeing our kids bond with the other kids on tour, the food, well-balanced sightseeing and free time, and spending time with Caroline gave us a better understanding of Vietnamese culture, both traditional and modern, and an appreciation of their homeland."
