Kon Kloc Early Childhood Education Centre – Children of Vietnam Benevolent Foundation

Kon Kloc hamlet is a part of a poor rural commune in the northern Dak Ha District, a remote, mountainous part of Vietnam’s central highland, with a population of approximately 6500 people. The living conditions there are difficult.

Because the kindergarten in this hamlet is situated in two old, dilapidated classrooms, the Vietnamese Education Society (VES), a Canadian Charity based out of Saskatchewan is working in conjunction with another organization called East Meet West to build a new Early Education Centre for this community.

CVBF has agreed to work with the VES to complete the construction of this centre.

The children were so polite and gracious as they stood to bid us farewell and to give thanks.
