Thuy Bang Library Project - Is a joined project of several NGOs (VA-NGO
Network, Think About TheChildren, Our1World, The Compassion Flower and
Global Village Foundation).
For this project, we have purchased:
  • - Reference books, dictionaries, fiction and non-fictionjuvenile materials
  • - Computer system and a laser printer; Solar fan; Reading lamps
  • - Textbooks to lend to students in poor families. Many kids are kept out
    of school because their parents cannot come up with enough money. The
    textbooks certainly help ease the financial burdens of poor families and
    bring many children back to the classroom.

Thuy Bang secondary school currently has 358 students (whereas 60 students
are from The Duc Son orphanage), 70% of students are from poverty-stricken
families.

There were 2 stages of the project.
  • The first started in 08/2008 and completed in 10/2008.
  • The secondf inished in 03/2009.
At the end of the final stage, we organized: Painting competitions (individual
andteamwork) on environment and recycled art competitionto promote
awareness on environmental protection andconservation among school children.
Writing contestabout the benefit of using the library. For eachcategory, 3 prizes
were awarded.

    Phú Sơn is a small village of around 200 families. In contrast to Thuy Bang, Phu
    Sơn is a highland village and is also a forgotten village, 99% of population in this
    village moved here from the city after 1995 for land reclamation and agriculture
    work, because the zones were supposed to be self-sufficient, so the living
    conditions were exceptionally harsh, poor infrastructure, no health services and
    other social programs.
       After 35 years, even living condition has been better, thatched house has been
    transformed to raw concrete (no window), each family has a small patch of rice
    field to produce rice for house whole, but health and social services are still very
    limited in this village. Many secondary and high school students have to walk
    17kms from home to school every day. Patients have to travel 8kms to a nearby
    clinic, equipped with one nurse and no medicine, the nurse then refer patient to
    district hospital (30kms away).

    The Phu Son library project is 100% funded by TCF which includes:
  • Text books, reference books, dictionaries, fiction and non-fiction books
  • Book shelve
  • reading lamps

    Apart from setting up the library, we also donate shoes, warm clothes and the
    event ends with singing contest and outdoor games
