More than just a cooking space, the kitchen is expected to provide warm, nutritious daily meals for young children. Construction began on February 9, 2026, and was completed on March 20, 2026, before being officially put into operation. Built on an area of 50.6 square meters, the facility includes a food preparation area, cooking space, meal distribution section, and dishwashing area, along with a drainage system and lighting, all arranged scientifically to meet food safety and hygiene standards.

At the Pa Ling campus of A Vao Kindergarten in Ta Rut commune, Quang Tri province, another boarding kitchen has also been officially handed over, promising safer and more nutritious meals for children. Beyond being a construction project, it represents a collective effort to invest in the future of children in disadvantaged areas.

With a total funding of more than VND 332 million, the project supports children’s holistic development, both physically and mentally. Construction began on January 19, 2026, covering a total area of 52.25 square meters, including a 30.08-square-meter main kitchen and a 3.15-square-meter gas storage room. All facilities were designed to meet safety and food hygiene standards, ensuring proper conditions for organizing boarding meals at the school.

With the handover of these kitchens, daily meals for children are not only more sufficient but also serve as a foundation for healthier growth, better learning conditions, and well-rounded development. Though modest in size, these kitchens are nurturing big dreams for the future.
