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.

Last week, VNHELP received some photos from the opening ceremony of the new school we helped build in Kien Giang as part of our school construction program. There will be more photos and video footage coming in, but we wanted to share what we have with you now.

About: Kien Giang is located in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta region. The province is known for its aquaculture and rice farming, though much still needs to be done for the province in terms of education, health, and economic development. Please take a look at our project pictures below!
