Opportunity to help poor students and have a really enjoyed and meaningful trip in Vietnam

Advertisement
The center is located in a tranquil pagoda in Kim Chung commune, Dong Anh district, outskirts of Hanoi. Dong Anh has been on the process of urbanization which leads to the mass immigration from nearby provinces. This causes several difficulties in policy formulation for education. Many immigrants can not afford to send their children to a standard school. Some even do not have money to pay school fees. Hence, these children can not access to the modern world. They lack not only fundamental knowledge but many other living skills, and English seems to be beyond their abilities. In the hope of bringing these disadvantaged children a chance to wish for a better life, our organization- CVTD (Center for Center for International Cooperation and Vietnam Talent Development) is implementing an educational program in the area. We aim at providing the children with basic English lessons and other extra activities including drawing, music and physical activities during break time. The children have class 3 days per week, each class lasts for 2 to 2.5 hours per day.
