📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Vinh Son orphanage is an organization held by a group of catholic people who have a warm heart to help poor children improve their life by attending schools. There are more than 100 children from 3 to 12 year-old from poor families where parents don’t have any condition to take care of their children. As a result, they don’t go to school although studying is a right of children. Thanks to volunteers of Vinh Son orphanage, the unlucky children are found and summoned to join the class held by them with hope for a better life. The local volunteering teachers teach them reading, writing and calculating while preparing documents for them to apply to public school at the same time. The teachers also give them moral lessons so they can stay away from social evils.
Additionally, the number of children who join the orphanage is more and more increasing, coupled with the facilities’ quality has been decreased day by day. We need more volunteers to support us renovate facilities, including the ceiling, rest room, tables and chains which are seriously damaged to let children live in the most convenient conditions.
