In June 2024 we completed a big construction project at the Kim Son Charity School. The school provides free primary schooling for children from poor families in the surrounding community. Lessons are held in several classrooms by accredited teachers, and all funding comes from charitable donations. The facilities are very old and in need of repair. We asked the nuns who run the school if there was anything we could do to help, and they provided us with a very detailed list of construction and repairs projects.
They were overjoyed when we said we would sponsor all the projects! It took workers several weeks to finish, and the school looked like new when it was all finished. Such a success!
This large project was sponsored by the generous donations from JL Support Services. Thank you!!!
