- Goal: Donate unused or mildly-used school supplies to children in Vietnam, and raise money for education equipment and tools. Via this project, we want to empower these students to complete their education, and enhance access to education in rural areas of Vietnam.
How: We contact people in our network to support us with in-kind and monetary donations. - Result-To-Date: We were able collect quite a few school supplies, and $300 from our friends and colleagues! All the supplies and money were sent back to Vietnam to our coordinator in Lao Cai, a small town in north Vietnam. We bought shoes, mugs, socks, and facility materials for one kindergarten, one elementary school, and one middle school. 100% of recipients are ethnic minorities in northern Vietnam.
