PeaceTrees Vietnam is pleased to share that we celebrated the opening of a new kindergarten in Central Vietnam in September! Ban Chùa Kindergarten is located in Ban Chùa, about 40 minutes from ông Hà in Quang Tri Province, and serves about 35 kindergarteners, most of whom are part of the Bru-Vân Kieu indigenous community.
Teachers, students, parents, local government officials, staff members, and PeaceTrees’ Citizen Diplomats were all in attendance at the ceremony. Students and teachers prepared performances for the group, which were followed by remarks from the officials and Citizen Diplomats.
The Citizen Diplomats’ remarks reminded the audience of the transformative impact that access to early education can have on students and their futures. This access is especially important for indigenous children because it helps prepare them for integration into public Vietnamese primary school - giving them confidence to navigate a new classroom and language.
Ban Chua Kindergarten is also an incredible reminder of the power of collective giving - over 30 different Citizen Diplomats pooled their resources to bring the kindergarten to life. Support of all shapes and sizes from people like you is what makes this work possible.
Thank you for being a part of PeaceTrees, and we look forward to keeping you updated as the school year progresses.
