"The Light Of The World" = Mekong delta support

"The Light Of The World" is the project name of our Mekong Delta scholarship program. It includes five different areas. We support about 45 children with school fees, books, uniforms and insurance for $150  year. We also support about 9 uni students at various universities and colleges in Sai Gon and Can Tho, Mekong delta.

We met at the Catholic church at Hoa Dinh

We visit the children every year to see them again, to encourage them and to check their school records.This is a short snippet about 14 kids from Hoa Dinh. Sadly 2 children left school, one move away the other did not like to go to school and had failed exams. 

Ly received a pre-loved lap top from us. This is to encourage her and others to do their best. This is all we can do !!!

We had some presents for the kids, some got the dolls that our friend Rose and her daughter made, others got little Koalas and bookmarks.

She also got a hand made bag for her school things

We were happy with most of the school results, most of the kids have improved from last year, which is good. Before we took a group photo Ly thanked us for coming and for our support and withed us good health and happiness.
