As each wall rises and every room takes form, hundreds of dreams are coming to life at the Dream School — the heart of our Buy a Spoon, Build a School campaign.
Behind this transformation are the tireless efforts of our project team, the dedication of our staff, and above all, the unwavering support of our generous community who continue to believe in this mission.
Our trainees share their excitement:
“I hope there will be a big library, a music room full of instruments, and a better dorm so we can welcome more friends.” – Ngai Chang Phong, Class K43
“For others, it may be just a school. But for us, it’s a chance to change our lives.” – Nguyen Thi Nhung, Class K45
At KOTO, we believe that just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to raise a dream. Every shared meal, every kind word, and every act of belief helps our trainees grow — not only in skills but in confidence and compassion.
“Before joining KOTO, I was shy and quiet. Now, I’m confident about my future.” – Mua Thi Co, Class K43
“KOTO isn’t just a school, it’s a family.” – Ly Van Son, Class K44
The Dream School is more than an expansion — it’s a promise. A promise that over 300 disadvantaged youth each year will have a place to learn, heal, and grow into professionals who lead with heart.
Because when a village comes together, dreams don’t just survive — they soar.
