VNHelp built a bridge nearby the school we constructed in Thới Quản Village, Gò Quao District, Kien Giang Province. It provides students a safe way to cross the river to go to school. The construction of the bridge was sponsored by Mr. Huong Le (Lê Văn Hưởng) of Lee Laundromat in northern CA. Per the local tradition, the bridge was blessed by a Buddhist priest (most people in the area are Buddhist). On Feb 19 2016, VNHelp’s Executive Director, Thu Do, attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new bridge.
