Call for donation and volunteering for the Youth Center project!!!

Since recently, SJ Vietnam has succeeded to send most children of the “Youth House” to public school where they can acquire a proper education and be integrated in the society. Nevertheless the school fees, provided by SJV, are rather expensive and we need therefore to raise funds to continue to send them to school. We decided to open the “Youth Center”, a cultural and learning place to exchange and share ideas about volunteering, active citizenship responsibility and social integration. It will consist of a café corner, a charity shop, a library and a language classroom. The children from the Youth House will continue to be heavily involved in this project. The benefits will be used for them!
