"Helping out at Vietnam Quilts was a highlight of my time in Vietnam. I volunteered to help with the sales display at Saigon Centre Christmas 2005 when Vietnam Quilts was in the process of moving to new premises. Along with other volunteers, we sold and took orders for quilts for a few weeks- it was easy for us but for Sue, Thanh and the others they had many hours to work as it was open 12 hours a day, every day.

It gave great exposure for Vietnam Quilts so when they moved to Ngo Duc Ke St the business was really starting to take off.

I also helped out there for a few months, being thrown in at the deep, end when Sue & Thanh were away. Thankfully there was still a business for them to come back to! -and I learnt valuable lessons in retail management Vietnam style!

This was an amazing time for me- I made life long friends and was so lucky to be exposed to the culture in a way that otherwise would not have been available to me." Jenny Robertson
