Impressive results of the third year

By Sam Nguyen | Project Manager

Dear our beloved Donors,

For Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF) would like to sincerely thank you for accompanying the project “Growing up with mountainous preschool students” in its third year launching in Bao Lam district, Cao Bang province.

In this school year 2022 - 2023, more than 70,000 nutritious meals (including lunch and snacks) were given to 195 students at 5 school sites: Na O and Khau Noong (Thach Lam Kindergarten), Ban La, Khau De and Sang Xoay (Thai Son Kindergarten), Bao Lam district, Cao Bang province.

Daily warm and varied meals help children make significant improvements in both physical and mental health. On average, each child increased 8,1 cm height and gained 3,1 kg weight, compared to the beginning of the school year. Regular attendance also helps them to be more active and confident when communicating with teachers and friends. To us and also to their parents, this is an amazing result.

From 25th to 27th of May, VSF organized a charity trip "Sunshine in Pac Miau" for sponsors and volunteers to visit and give gifts to children. All 195 gift sets, each including a backpack, an umbrella and cakes, candies and milk were carefully packed and delivered to the children. At the meeting, the volunteers had the opportunity to interact with the students, listen to them read poems, sing and dance, and play games with them.

N.M.A - the volunteer of this trip shared: “I was very touched when I witnessed the strength of both teachers and students here. I want to spread my help to the teachers and students to motivate them to go to school every day.”

To keep bringing semi-boarding meals to upland children, we are looking forward to receiving your support for this project in the next school year (2023-2024).

Sincerely yours,

Project Manager, Nguyen Thi Sam

A sense of achievement in this school year

By Sam Nguyen | Project Manager

Dear our beloved Donors,

For Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF) is pleased to announce that we have successfully raised more than $14,600 to sponsor semi-boarding meals for preschool children in Cao Bang within just one month. With the money coming from 120 individual sponsors and units (including the money from GlobalGiving), we will bring 72,000 semi-boarding meals to ethnic minority preschool students in Bao Lam district, Cao Bang in the school year 2022 - 2023.

In the first term of this school year, 202 students at 5 school sites Na O, Khau Noong (Thach Lam preschool), Ban La, Sang Xoay, Khau De (Thai Son preschool) were provided more than 35,000 hot nutritious meals every school day. Besides, students also had snacks (normally noodles, porridge, rice noodle) in the afternoon. Thanks to the daily meals, students attended school regularly and had good physical development index (both weight and height gain). To us and also to their parents, this is an amazing result.

"After the lesson, our children often excitedly talk about their school meals, how they learned to sing and played games in class and outdoors." - Mr. VAS - the father of two children: VTGL (5 years old) and VTKX (4 years old) - shared happily.

In order to bring the children nutritious meals, the teachers and the cooks worked very hard. Sometimes, the school site lacked clean water, so the cook had to go back to her house again and again to bring water to school. Sometimes, the cook has to bring dry corn to cook as there is no firewood available on the hill. Despite the difficulties, the cooks always try their best to give the children a good environment to study and grow up.

To keep bringing semi-boarding meals to upland children, we are looking forward to receiving your support for this project in the next school year 2023-2024.

Launching the third year of the project

By Linh Nguyen | Project Leader

Dear our valued Donors,

As the new school year has started, 202 students at 5 school sites Na O, Khau Noong (Thach Lam preschool), Ban La, Sang Xoay, Khau De (Thai Son preschool) are now cheerfully going to school everyday. The joy of school attendance comes not only from the new knowledge but also from the warm meals from the project “Growing up with mountainous preschool students”, which has been implemented by For Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF) for the third consecutive year in Bao Lam district, Cao Bang province.

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, nutritious meals will be provided to students in the school year 2022-2023. With VND 1.7 million/student/school year (Equivalent to USD 75/student/school year), all students will have hearty lunches with minced pork, eggs, vegetables, etc., and afternoon snacks with a variety of dishes (like porridge, noodles) on a daily basis. All food and the cooking process for the children ensure food safety and hygiene.

Seeing the bright smiles of the children, teachers and parents at the school sites also feel the happiness. The bright smiles are not only the promise of a meaningful new school year, but also the hope for the "Growing up with mountainous preschool students” project of VSF.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to the sponsors and look forward to receiving your interest and contributions in the future.
