Story
Most people already know our story, and many of you will have visited our community and witnessed it first hand. Nobody here is poor but from time to time everyone needs a helping hand. We try and make sure that anything we do is sustainable and not just reactionary. One constant has been helping our neighbors that want to practice English, and its been over two years since we first started. Every Saturday and Sunday they wait outside the gate and when it opens they run in, they often arrive up to an hour before we start and are genuinely eager to learn. It is so easy here for education to slip down the list of priorities but these children choose to come every week without fail.We try to make each week fun with our main focus on encouraging further studies. Two years ago 'hello' and 'whats your name' was the extent of communication between the children and the tourists, today you can happily have a conversation with many. We try to find interesting and exciting ways to keep them motivated every week and always celebrate special occasions and holidays. This Christmas I would like to reward all those that try so hard with a trip to the cinema and lunch. There are just over 50 children plus a few adults to support, we will ride to the city 12km away have lunch and see an English children's movie with Vietnamese subtitles, this will be a rare memorable treat that i hope will encourage them to keep trying hard. So if anyone wants to give a small gift that would mean so much to us please help me make it happen.
