• Meet some of the Viethope Scholars!

  Sunday, February 21, 2016 at 05:02:50 PM by Youth Development Program (YDP) (Youth Development

  Meet Toan
  Born into a large family where the main way of earning living is farming. Toans father died early and the burden of daily expenses for the entire family depends on his mothers farmwork. At one point, Toan had to quit school because his family could not afford to pay for his studies. After spending some time working different jobs, Toan realized that education was the only way to change his life. That was why he made up his mind and decided to sit for the entrance exam to HCMC Economics University to continue his dream.
  
  Previously, I had attended a university in HCMC but I could only complete 2 semesters and then I had to stop, because my familys income was not enough to pay all my education expenses. But I always continued to long to attend university, because that is not only an honor but also a new door opening to my future. But along with that is the burden that my family faces, the many worries my mom will deal with with all the expenses. I felt happy, and worried at the same time. But I tell myself that I will exert my best so that I can lessen the burden for my mother.
  
  
  Meet Kim
  Kim Anh was born into a poor and large farming family. Her older brother and younger sister are disabled. Her parents are aged and facing the chronic illnesses of elderly people. The 6-member family only depends on growing rice in some acres of land. To have better conditions for studying, opportunities to learn and hone her personal and ethical values and behavior in order to become a good citizen for society  that is exactly the dream that has never faded within Kim Anh.
  
  I have often heard the phrase, each tree has its flowers, each family its situation, therefore I always think that no one can choose what circumstances we are born into, but we can choose the way we live. And the tougher the circumstance, the more you have to try. I am still more fortunate than many friends, because I dont have to walk alone in life, my parents are by my side encouraging me, and now I also have the VietHope family helping me. Looking back on all the difficulties I encountered, it is those things that became motivators for me to overcome and strive in my studies. First in order to achieve my best self, and beyond that, to be able to help those with disadvantaged backgrounds like myself. I am aware that currently I am not wealthy in material terms, but I believe that I have a large emotional treasure. I will always be ready to share my empathy and concern for others, with sincere feelings, so that I can help encourage, motivate and share when someone is in a hard spot and needs my help.
  
  
  Meet Phuc
  Phuc grew up in a family whose parents are farmers. Recently, due to failing health, his mother could no longer perform heavy physical work so his father is now the only bread-winner with many difficulties. When Phuc passed the entrance exam to Can Tho university, the joy was not full because his family faced financial problems for his studies (materials, tuition fee, daily expenses, renting a flat and so on). Phuc himself feels guilty that he is a burden for his family because he hasnt yet been able to find a part-time job to provide for himself.
  
  I feel so happy and extremely grateful because VietHope has brought me not only financial support but also has become a great source of hope and motivation to me. The scholarship money has helped me and my family a lot, that was a long-lived dream that had never come true until now. Besides, VietHope has also helped me gain valuable experience through opportunities for me to make new friends and talk with volunteers in the Youth Development Program .
  I have gained a new source of energy to motivate me in studying and training to reach my best dreams!
  
  
• Well done Givology team!

  Sunday, February 14, 2016 at 06:20:51 AM by Wisdom School Project

  Dear reader,
  Our story has become beautiful. We started in wooden structures and we needed our story to be shared with the whole world. We couldn't have come this far without your assistance and direction. Together, we have provided a sound learning environment for the pupil in Kitase and its surrounding villages. Wisdom School has really helped in promoting quality education in the rural areas.
  We would like to an extend an invitation to the Givology team members to our 10th speech and prizes giving day in October 2016. We will be happy if this invitation is honored.
  
  Sincerely,
  Kennedy

• Helped Kaloleni Primary School!

  Saturday, February 13, 2016 at 07:18:43 AM by Pens, Pencils and Sharpeners for Tanzanian School

  This EfforTZ Project was established to acquire and transport pens, pencils and pencil sharpeners to 4,000 impoverished school students in very four poor public primary schools in Tanzania.
  This past week, pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners were delivered to the more than 1,800 students at Kaloleni Primary School, a public school in Arusha. In addition, blackboard chalk was delivered the teachers at Kaloleni Primary School too.
  Thank you to Givology supporters for making this possible!

• The supplies have arrived!

  Thursday, November 12, 2015 at 07:23:57 PM by Supplies for Mwangaza Students

  Not everything in life runs smoothly but as Shakespeare said Alls well that ends well. And, so it was with the 1,150 pounds of school supplies that our donors collected and that we shipped to Arusha in late 2013. As only ocean voyages can go, delivery of our goods in Tanzania, promised for early February, didnt arrive in port until May of 2014! So, we thought a week in customs and then well have our goods.
  Oops, not so fast& Our goods were delivered to our shipping partner. And, our pallet (which we had clearly identified as being separate from theirs) was inadvertently disassembled along with all their pallets. The result  now all our individual boxes previously packed in the pallet, were scattered throughout their warehouse with their staff was unable to identify what belonged to us. Thankfully, our shipping partner came to the rescue, flew a representative to Tanzania, and thanks to the labeling we had put on our individual boxes, he was able to find our supplies and give them to us  in July! Best of all, thanks to the fast work of our Tanzanian operations representative, we were able to get Mwangazas school supplies to them shortly after 2nd semester at school started.
  We have included a picture below showing the smiles on the faces of some of the students and teachers at Mwangaza telling Givology just how grateful they and we are to you for donating the funds to pay for the shipping of some of these school supplies. Thank you!
