Lo Van Sum, party secretary of Nam Un Village, said, "Thanks to the readers that the children now have proper classrooms. I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone that helped."

Khuat Thi Thanh, director of Binh Minh Nursery School, said they have 13 school sites with over 500 children. However, only five school sites have sturdy classrooms, in which Nam Un site with 30 children had the most dilapidated classrooms. When it rains, the mud and rain would get inside and the classrooms looked even more fragile. It couldn't keep out the winds during the winter so teachers and children had to find ways to keep warm first.

I hope that the classrooms will bring joy to the village and be a launchpad for the children's dreams. We are honoured to be able to contribute to the local education promotion programme."
