<div><strong>Help Feed Underprivileged Kids &amp; Keep Them in School! </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello everyone,
</div>
<div>We are a small group of volunteers (Vietnam Hearts) teaching English at an <strong>underprivileged school in Binh Thanh Ward, Saigon, Vietnam</strong>. This school is more than just a place for learning - it’s a<strong> lifeline </strong>for children who would otherwise have no access to education.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Reality These Kids Face</strong>
</div>
<div>The principal works tirelessly, going door to door and visiting the flea market to <strong>find children who do not attend school</strong>, inviting them to learn. Many of these kids come from extremely poor families and must <strong>skip school to work</strong> - selling lottery tickets, fruits, or collecting recyclables to survive, sometimes <strong>until midnight</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our journey began in <strong>mid-February</strong> with just 8 students. Now, the school has <strong>grown to 40 kids</strong>, and we expect even more to join! However, approximately <strong>22 of these children are at risk of dropping out </strong>because they must work to help feed their families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One of these children is a <strong>6-year-old boy who works from 6 AM to 11:30 PM</strong> just to earn enough money for food. No child should have to make this choice between <strong>education and survival</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help </strong>
</div>
<div>If we can <strong>provide these children with rice each month</strong>, they won’t need to skip school to work for food. This will <strong>directly allow them to stay in school and receive an education</strong> - giving them hope for a brighter future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The principal estimates that each person consumes <strong>2kg of rice per month</strong>.
</div>
<div><strong>Rice costs ~15,000 VND per kg</strong> (approx.):
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>$0.60 USD / $0.90 AUD / $0.80 CAD / £0.50 GBP per kg</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>$1.20 USD / $1.80 AUD / $1.60 CAD / £1.00 GBP per child per month </strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to <strong>raise enough funds to support these children and their families with rice each month</strong>. With your support, we can <strong>reduce their burden </strong>and keep them in school!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Transparency &amp; Updates</strong>
</div>
<div>We are committed to full transparency:
</div>
<div>✔️ Receipts &amp; photos of all rice and school-related purchases
</div>
<div>✔️ Withdrawal confirmations from GoFundMe donations
</div>
<div>✔️ Regular updates on how your contributions are making an impact
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every Donation Counts! </strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>$3.75 USD (~90,000 VND)</strong> = Rice for <strong>a family of 3 for a month</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>$5.00 USD (~120,000 VND)</strong> = Rice for <strong>a family of 4 for a month</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>$10 USD (~240,000 VND)</strong> = Rice for <strong>8 children for a month</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>$25 USD (~600,000 VND)</strong> = Rice for <strong>20 children</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>$50 USD (~1,200,000 VND)</strong> = Rice for <strong>40 children for a month</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div>No donation is too small - every bit helps give these kids the <strong>chance to learn, grow, and build a better future</strong>.
</div>

<div>Fund Allocation Disclaimer:
</div>
<div>Our primary goal is to use the funds raised to provide food for underprivileged families, ensuring that their children can attend school without the burden of working for their meals. However, in addition to food, donations will also be used for other essential school-related expenses, such as supplies, and resources that directly benefit the children's education and well-being.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are committed to full transparency, and all fund usage will be documented and shared with donors through regular updates, including receipts and reports on how contributions are making an impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We use this as a recurring fund to support the students in this school. Anything helps, we appreciate your support.
