Another VVAW Library Project Launches

By VVAW

VVAW, working through the Library of Vietnam Project, has committed to fund another library in Vietnam. The library will be built in the courtyard of the Hanh Trung Primary School, Nghia Hanh District, in the Quang Ngai Province of Vietnam. The school has 450 students, and 30 teachers.

This will be a "Small Dream" library—meaning it will be smaller than our previous library and only one story tall. After its completion the school can hold Book Days indoors, in wet or dry seasons, sheltered from the elements. Weather and unforeseen issues permitting, we hope to have this library completed in the Spring of 2023.

The librarian at our first library in Pho Vinh, says it is getting lots of use. They are entering an administrative competition for recognition as the Number One Library for a secondary School in all of Quang Ngai Province! VVAW intends to continue supporting these library projects with construction or enhancements to equipment, or whatever the libraries need to better help the students.

To donate to the VVAW library projects, you can donate at www.vvaw.org and then email vvaw@vvaw.org to let us know the donation is for the libraries. Or mail us a check at the address below. Thanks for helping us make these projects possible.
