School dorms in Vietnam + support for Syrian refugees
Here are the latest ways you’re helping bring education, opportunity and better lives to some of the world’s most secluded communities and vulnerable youth.
School dorms open doors in Vietnam
In the remote hills of Vietnam, some children walked up to 6 kilometres to get to school every day, creating a huge barrier to education.
Through your support, the community built a new school dormitory, now housing 50 students! The gender-separate dorms have modern facilities, enabling students to focus on studies, not challenges.
“I don’t worry about my daughter walking to school at dawn, anymore,” says one father. “After the first semester her grades got better. She has time to read, is a lot more confident and hasn’t been absent from school.”
Indeed, the new accommodations are enabling students to flourish in many ways, especially with the support they gain from one another:
In the evening, I study with my friends and my performance has been getting much better. I can understand full and clear my teacher’s lessons. Now I believe I can go on and study even harder
