Supporting Community and Compassion—One Slice at a Time
The British International School (BIS) located in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) hosted the PTG Coffee and Cake Morning 2019 on April 11th 2019. The event brought together coffee and cake with generosity to create a tangible change for Vietnamese children fighting cancer while Asian Tigers Vietnam provided its proud sponsorship.
The Parents Teachers Group (PTG) arranged this event which combined community compassion with fundraising efforts for Thuy’s Dreams Foundation to support children with cancer in HCMC. The event used cakes and cookies to show that basic acts of giving can produce substantial effects.
The Venue: A Welcoming School with a Global Heart
The event occurred at the energetic British International School HCMC campus which operates as part of the Nord Anglia Education network. The British International School maintains a welcoming environment for all its students and parents and staff members who come from worldwide backgrounds. Its campus regularly hosts events that promote community involvement, multicultural exchange, and social responsibility.
The school transformed its meeting area into a pleasant café setting on this specific morning. The event displayed handmade signs with baked goods and donation containers on decorated tables. The space became filled with an affectionate atmosphere when all members of the community, including parents, teachers and students united for this event.
The Cause: Thuy’s Dreams – Giving Hope to Young Fighters
The main objective of this event involved generating support along with raising awareness for Thuy’s Dreams which operates in Vietnam as a children cancer treatment charity. The foundation named after Thuy dedicated its work to create a world where no child would have to face cancer treatment without receiving both dignity and emotional care and supportive hope.
Thuy’s Dreams helps families in need through three main programs which provide financial assistance for medical treatment together with emotional assistance and the granting of small wishes that bring happiness to children in hospitals. The PTG Coffee and Cake Morning supports vital operations of Thuy’s Dreams by covering hospital expenses and cancer ward requirements for HCMC.
Baking with Heart: The Role of the PTG
BIS Parent Teacher Group members demonstrated extraordinary dedication which made the morning event successful. The parents at the school dedicated their time to bake numerous homemade treats including cakes, cookies, cupcakes, muffins and brownies for the event. The PTG volunteers dedicated their time and resources to create delicious baked goods that represented the spirit of generosity which was central to the event.
The baked items served as fundraising tools because they both tasted great and helped raise money. The funds collected from morning sales of items went directly to support Thuy’s Dreams. Many attendees bought multiple treats that they consumed both on-site and distributed to classrooms and offices as a way to amplify the event’s outreach.
Coffee, Conversation, and Community Connection
The event functioned as a vital networking opportunity while maintaining its main objective to raise funds. Parents enjoyed their coffee while sampling cake and used this opportunity to interact with each other. The event gave new families an opportunity to discover the school community. The event served as a chance for community members to reinforce their friendships while discovering the social initiatives supported by the school.
Members from the school leadership team attended the morning to express gratitude toward volunteers and supporters as they emphasized the educational value of charitable work and community service. Their attendance demonstrated how BIS maintains its commitment to developing academic excellence together with compassion and civic responsibility and empathy in its student body.
Asian Tigers Vietnam: Moving with Purpose
The 2019 PTG Coffee and Cake Morning received official sponsorship from Asian Tigers Vietnam. The leadership position Asian Tigers Vietnam holds as an international relocation service provider drives its commitment to community support through its operations. The event sponsorship demonstrates the company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility by giving back and lifting others through purposeful action.
Through their sponsorship Asian Tigers paid for event venue preparation expenses and promotional materials and logistical support. The company’s event sponsorship served as a display of unity while showing compassion to the community by connecting its business with community welfare.
A spokesperson from the company stated, “Asian Tigers exists beyond relocation services. We move lives. The company supports community activities by participating in the lives of families moving abroad and by sponsoring cancer treatment for children. We feel privileged to take part in this occasion.“

The event created a great dialogue about our cookie-making activities and our recipients. The occasion served as an important educational experience.”
Fundraising Impact and Legacy
