HKBAV Charity Events

HKBAV is honored to contribute VND100,000,000  to The Red Cross of Central Hue Hospital to buy more medicine and giving out free treatments. They are not only making this in hospital but also going to small villages where they are heavily affected, such as Phong Dien, Huong Thuy, Phu Vang, Phu Loc & Huong Tra - Thua Thien Hue province.

Thien An Shelter (MATA) is a social support center for visually impaired youth established with the purpose of helping disadvantaged visually impaired children to access education and learning essential skills to live independently and integrate into the society.

Today, together with Colliers International Vietnam, we visit Binh Thanh Hope School, a private school for the hearing impaired established in 1986. The school’s main mission is to teach children with hearing disabilities to read and speak and to improve their education level to at least secondary high-school (9 grade) and hopefully can participate in the workforce for a self-sustainable living.

There are hundreds of ethnic minority households living in poverty at Hon Quan district, Binh Phuoc province. Most of them are S’tieeng minority people and their lives are very difficult and cannot afford to go to school. Their language is S’tieeng - a language that is similar to Cambodian Khmer.

We had a great weekend with our Charity event today at Children's hospital 1 for donating 526 items, which is worth 15,309,000 VND including books and educational toys and Siam Canadian donates 95,600,000 VND. Total of all efforts is 110,909,000 VND for unlucky kids who are staying here for treatment.

Tường Lộc -  A School lies in the district of Tam Bình in Vĩnh Long province. This is a satellite school which had been renovated before Covid-19. Satellite schools, however, are often the last to receive additional funding for resources such as library.

In response to Vietnam government's efforts against COVID-19, HKBAV has pledged US$2500 to purchase 200 protective suits and 285 N95 masks to support Vietnam frontline healthcare workers who are tirelessly fighting to save lives and keep our community safe.

Today we visited the Tra Leng primary school's boarding house, one of the HKBAV Charity project where we donated a bunk bed system, opened on 30 December 2018.  It took more than 4 hours from Chu Lai Airport to Nam Tra My Mountain where the school is.  The landscape is beautifully but a rather difficult journey even for adults.

This year, HKBAV has voted to donate VND99,955,900 (USD$4275) for another reading room in Thanh Đức C primary school. The school is located in the Thanh Đức commune, Long Ho district, with 785 students and 19 teachers.

The program will conduct over 500 sessions to educate children and business about the plastic problem and the various solutions with follow-up. HKBAV is a proud sponsor of the Education Program in Saigon.

In 2018, much efforts were put into raising funds for a new boarding house, in which HKBAV has voted to donate USD $3,300 (VND75,000,000) for The Bunk Bed System to this integrated boarding house for ethnic minority students. In December 2018, the project is completed with the assistance from a number of corporate donors. 

Reading Corner is a bookshelf that sits in the corner of a small primary school. This library solution is perfect for schools that lack a room that can be dedicated to a Reading Room. Globes and educational toys are also donated. Each library we donate has a wide range of local language children's books including history, science, short stories, fairy tales, books for very young readers, children's dictionaries, children's reference books, an assortment of comic books and a full set of children's encyclopedias.
