Books for Students (Vietnam)
Donation protected
In Vietnam, it is not common for public schools to have a library. At the moment, one of the schools that I teach at is making a library for the students, but the progress is slow.
My students at Doan Ket Primary School in Hanoi are from difficult circumstances in most cases. They live in an area of the city where their parents sell electronics in a dense marketplace, and the access to education is minimal. I have very rarely seen my students with any kind of book, and according to them most do not have access to books at home.
Despite this, my students LOVE to read and they share books. If one kid manages to get a book, they will pass it aroudn the class until everyone who wants to read it has a chance. I know that if they had better access to books in English, their abilities and love of learning the language would increase.
I want to help the students have better access to classic children's books in English, so that they have the choice to read them if they want to learn more outside of class. This is something that could be integrated into the new library that they are building.
I need $500 to cover the cost of the books and the shipping for them to arrive in Vietnam. I want to buy 1-5 books in English for each grade (1-5). I'm happy to take suggestions of which books I should include.
If you contribute to this campaign, you'll be directly helping some of the children in Hanoi who have little educational opportunity and support. These books will provide independent learning and a safe place for introverted students in a chaotic, loud school with very few resources.
I need the funds by the end of this month.
