WELCOME TO HEARTS FOR HUE’S AUGUST 2019 NEWSLETTER.
Dear Donors, Colleagues, and Friends,
First of all, Hearts For Hue would like to send our warmest greetings and best wishes to all of you and express our sincere thanks for your support of disadvantaged people in Vietnam.
We would like to share with you an overview of what our organization was doing from July to August 2019
Please take a look at our project highlights below:
Case story about VESAF,NFP Scholarship 2018-2019
During the last university year 2018 -2019, the VESAF scholarship program supported 32 underprivileged students who obtained an outstanding academic record. The financial support for each student is 300 USD for one university year. Thanks to the Scholarships, students were able to not worry about the financial fees and be able to focus on their studies. This made a massive difference on the students, they had more time and energy to learn and therefore to develop their academic records. See more
The Rotary International has approved a program on improving living quality of the poor/ or disabled people in Vinh Thai commune
About 25km southeast of Hue city, Vinh Thai is one of poorest communes of Phu Vang district, Thua Thien Hue province. The population of Vinh Thai is about 6,300 people, of which more than 200 are poor and/or live with a disability.
Currently, the poor and people with disability in Vinh Thai are facing a lot of difficulties because they don’t have appropriate jobs, and can’t generate income for their families; most of them do not have enough money or training to start a business. During the past, Vinh Thai had some relief policies for people with disabilities (supply rice, foods, building charity houses and so forth). However, they were not long-term, sustainable solutions that could help them and their families and indeed they didn’t create a stable income to help to improve the economic condition for poor or people with disabilities.

An English Summer Camp for children in Vinh Phu Community
A Summer Camp which under sponsored by Nessrine collaborated with Hearts for Hue was held at Vinh Phu Community house. The programe invited 18 children with a wide range of ages starting from 6 to 15 years old who are under Ngay Mai Scholarship. All children were excited and attended on time with their mothers. And as an organizer, we were very happy with good spirits of participants. The success of the program comes from meticulous plans of our international volunteers along with the well- known Hearts for Hue team. All made smiles on the faces of children, mothers and unforgettable moments for all of them. See more
