Volunteer in school for poor immigrant kids

Our goal is to create short and long term International Voluntary Projects to assist in long lasting community development and education; to exchange and explore cultures; broaden experiences and improve skills between Vietnamese volunteers and international volunteers.

We are looking for interested volunteers who would like to share their time and talents with the our staff and students. CVTD wishes to foster good relationships with international volunteer in order to establish a greater network of volunteers cooperating together to provide greater assistance to those areas in which humanitarian aid is needed.

We hope that you will consider our proposal and we look to forward to hearing from you soon.

Weare welcomesyou.

Kind regards,

OVERVIEW

Kim Chung commune, Dong Anh district, outskirts of Hanoi. The locality is in the process of urbanization, and as a result of the establishment of Thang Long Industrial Park, which leads to mass immigration from nearby rural provinces. Migrant workers accounted for more than half the total number of immigrants in Dong Anh district. Young workers with limited income are living indifficultyconditions. While we all know that children have rights to basic subsistence, education and so on for normal human development, many of the children hereare facingwithdificultyin education as their parentscan notafford to send them 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.

With the purpose to help these disadvantaged children approach to supplementknowledgeand skills needed for their future Center for International Cooperation and Vietnam Talent Development (CVTD), in partnership with Kim Chung Commune People’s Committee (and Kim Chung Primary School), is implementing an educational program in a tranquil pagoda of Kim Chung Commune.
