In March 2025 we installed brand new swing sets at the Kim Son Charity School. Kim Son is a free primary for the area’s poorest children and is a loving place that fosters education to the most vulnerable. Between classes, the children play in the school courtyard, and we recently learned of a pressing need. The nuns at the school told us that the old swing sets were falling apart and no longer safe. They asked if we could help, and we were thrilled to provide new playground equipment. The nuns were so happy!
After workers finished installing the swing sets, the nuns sent us lots of fun pictures of the children playing. Such big smiles!
This charitable project was sponsored by the kindhearted donations of Hanh Tong. 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.
