At the same time the construction of Na Pản school began, in March 2022, VNHelp also started the construction of Chan III Kindergarten, located about 25 km from the residential town, distant by high mountain roads and steep passes. The school is in Cay village, Ngoi Cay commune, Muong Ang district; it is at the border of Son La and Dien Bien provinces. There are 55 preschool-age children of the H’mong ethnic group. The current school site is roofed with temporary corrugated iron. The classrooms are very hot in the summer. In the rainy and stormy season, rain on the roof is very noisy, and the roof is often punctured and blown off.
VNHelp has cooperated with Truc Lam Company (Vietnam) and A Child Unchained Corp (USA), who jointly fund the construction of a new school with 02 classrooms, 01 teacher room and other facilities. The teacher’s room is where the teachers will stay at school during the week because they cannot go home every day (it’s just too far!). This school is expected to be ready for use in August 2022.
