In November 2024 we had a Teachers Day celebration at the Kim Son Charity School. It’s a very special holiday in Vietnam, and many schools across the country honor the teachers who give their hearts and souls to the children in their care. For Kim Son we sponsored a big party with speeches and gifts for the wonderful teachers here.
All the students at this school come from poor families, so we also sponsored gifts for each child to take home to their families. These included bags of rice, boxes of noodles, bottles of fish sauce and soy sauce, and seasonings. It was a wonderful day!
This special visit was made possible through the kind donations from Luanne Lemmer. Thank you!!!
ABOUT THE KIM SON CHARITY SCHOOL
This wonderful organization offers free primary school education at their charity school, plus free sewing skills training at their free vocational school for those who live in Vinh Luong ward, 15 kilometers north of Nha Trang. Founded at the Kim Son Pagoda in 1994 by the Buddhist nun Thich Nu Dieu Phuc, it has long been a loving source of education for local youngsters. There are classrooms which grades 1 to 5 split in morning and afternoon shifts, and another room with donated sewing machines for those who want to learn tailoring skills. All the children are from poor families, and the school exists through the kindness of donations.
