Kids are cute. And they're cuter if they're receiving quality education. I've been volunteering at Education for Development, a non-governmental organization that assists local social organizations with its education programs. Last week, I visited an elementary school that's located in the rural areas of Nha Trang. I spoke with some of the teachers and they all share the same problem: the government does not provide funding for their schools. Because Nha Trang is located in the rural mountain ranges, it's difficult for school officials to access information. Communication is extremely limited. When it comes to school funding, it's not uncommon to see a corrupt government official pocket this money.
These schools operate on private support. Education for Development makes sure these funds go directly to the school by purchasing school materials. If you'd like to help these children receive a quality education, please make a donation to: www.EducationForDevelopment.org
Toys. (Look closely, they're oyster shells)
