Project Update: Meet Phuong Anh and Her New Wheelchair!

Friday, November 2nd, 2012

 

Meet Little Miss Phuong Anh, one of the latest beneficiaries of our wheelchair distribution program. Despite being born without legs and a left hand, Phuong Anh is a cheerful and bubbly four-year-old. She loves to play and move around, but it used to be painful for her to go outside because she had to crawl. The unpaved and rocky streets in Vietnam were a source of constant discomfort. With her own wheelchair, she’s now riding in style!

Special thanks to Thanh Huong Sandwiches in San Jose for donating to our wheelchair program!

Project Update: School in Son La Completed!

Monday, October 29th, 2012

Back in May, VNHELP wrote about the start of a new school construction project in Son La province. Construction actually began in March, and six months later, in September, the school was completed! The timing was perfect–just when the fall school season was about to go in session. The school is now a place where young primary-school aged children are learning writing, maths, and other important creative and critical thinking skills. We’re looking forward to seeing how the school’s presence will brighten up these children’s futures!

The school’s specific location is Pa Che Village, home to many ethnic minority groups.
