We are very proud to announce the completion of yet another school building project undertaken in Vietnam, even in this difficult COVID-19 time. This is a pre-school in the commune of Vĩnh Phước B, Gò Quao district, Kiên Giang province, a remote and rural area 155 miles South-West of Saigon.
The new kindergarten has 4 classrooms, 1 teacher’s room, 5 restrooms, electricity, running water; all built and furnished according to modern standards. It’ll meet the urgent needs of approximately 155 kindergarteners, 8 teachers, and 2 support staff. The construction started in April 2020 and completed in July. On September 5th the school opened to welcome excited young children and their parents to the first day of 2020-2021 school year. Partnering with VNHelp for this project is Lee’s Sandwiches, who provided 50% of the construction cost, and VNHelp funded the rest. We are delighted and thankful to be able to provide a safe learning facility for the young of this Kiên Giang community for many years to come.
