The students repaint the school
82 volunteers including students, Huyndai Co. Ltd employees and KFHI staffs cleaned the school, rebuilding flower tubs and repainting all classrooms.
Total repair cost VND 950 million (about USD40850) is funded by Huyndai and KFHI.
For some students, this is the first time they were far from home. Overcoming homesickness and language barrier, they hope to do a meaningful thing for children here.
On August 21, the volunteer team handed over the refurbished school to the local government.

The Bonds Between People Are Why I Love Viet Nam
Speaking about Viet Nam, where I currently live and work, brings me many emotions. What I notice most clearly about Ha Noi is the increasingly rapid pace of change across society. Residential complexes, shopping malls, roads and new bridges are continuously being built throughout the city. Some places have changed dramatically in just a few months. Particularly recently, it is easy to see that Hanoi is implementing major projects on drainage and water treatment to reduce flooding. This shows that the Government is taking urban infrastructure improvement very seriously.

30 Minutes of “Quintessential Viet Nam” Every Day
Affection for a country can stem from the simplest of things. For Kaneya Manabu, a Japanese national who formerly served as a police officer in Saitama Prefecture and later chose to make Viet Nam his home, one such thing is the workplace lunch nap. Though it lasts only about 30 minutes a day, this habit has given him a deeper appreciation for the local rhythm of life and a distinctly Vietnamese approach to balancing work and personal time.
