Hang Tau Kindergarten 
June 6, 2023 – Let’s delve into the school’s locale, aesthetics, color scheme, and purpose, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the newly inaugurated institution known as “Hang Tau Preschool.” This remarkable facility comprises two classrooms, an administrative office, a well-equipped kitchen, restrooms, and an inviting playground adorned with various play structures.
Nestled amidst the verdant hills of Dien Bien Phu, the school’s location was thoughtfully chosen. For the residents living in these challenging mountainous terrains, encountering such a spacious, exquisitely designed, and vibrantly colored educational haven is an exceedingly rare occurrence. It’s evident that the young students attending this institution brim with joy and gratitude. They express their heartfelt thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Tran Bao Ngoc, the benevolent sponsors, as well as the VNHELP organization that played a pivotal role in turning this dream into a tangible reality.

Son La school Visit

Tuesday, February 14th, 2023

In February 2023, Mr. PVT from California visited three schools built by VNHelp a couple years ago in Tu Nang commune, Yen Chau district, Son La province. He wrote in his letter to VNHelp:
“The most memorable thing about this trip was that we were able to meet with the teachers and the local people. Everyone repeatedly told me that the students love their new school so much that they look forward to going to school everyday and they even want to have classes on Sundays. They are very proud that their schools are, in every respect, better and more beautiful than other schools built by the government. Not only that, the schools keep students cool in the summer and warm in the winter.”
