Cool Jewels to Rebuild the School!
MEET THE CP
About Me: I'm Clara Wilson, a 3rd grader in Columbia, South Carolina. My Paw Paw started the charity, Children of Vietnam, in 1985. He told me about the typhoon that destroyed a lot houses and schools in Vietnam a year and a half ago. I said, "Hey, we can help Paw Paw! We'll rebuild one of the classrooms that was destroyed and make a whole bunch of kids happy!" And that's what we're doing! Help me help the children of the remote mountain village of Trung Chanh in central Vietnam. My Paw Paw said they would be so excited. Right now some of the children go to another village and share a class but when the rainy season comes in November, a river rises up in the middle of the village and they must stay home. They are going to be so excited when we tell them what we did. Will you help me help them?
PROJECT SUMMARY
Trung Chanh is one of seven villages in the mountainous region of Nui Thanh District of Quang Nam Province, Vietnam. In September 2009, the area was deeply impacted by Typhoon Ketsana with the loss of life, housing, crop, fruit trees, and shrimp ponds. The poor farming families in Trung Chanh are still working to recover and struggle to make ends meet. In total, there are 286 kindergarten children in the region but only 165 children can attend school. The other 121 have to stay at home, because there is not enough classroom space in the region. This Trung Chanh Kindergarten Construction project will give approximately 40 young children the best start possible now and for years to come by providing a kindergarten facility that is appropriately designed, well lit, comfortable, and secure. Kindergartens serve a fundamental need for young children, giving them a head start in obtaining a solid education, good social skills, and bright future. Children who are unable to attend kindergarten are at a significant learning disadvantage. Support this project and partner with the families of Trung Chanh to ensure that young children can gain the healthy intellectual development they need to succeed in their future.
