Handspan recently connected with an active group of young fellows carrying social projects in the poorest regions of North Vietnam. The project is called Anh Sang Nui Rung [Lighten mountains and forests] and gather around 70 active members. They already built from scratch two schools in very remote areas. After they completed the second one in May 2015 in a secluded region at the far Northwest of Vietnam, they realized that kids could hardly attend the afternoon classes because they have to knock about the forest searching for food. These families have no running water, no electricity and very scarce food supply.

The second stage of their project came as evidence. Living conditions are too rough and access to primary needs must be first sustained before thinking about education. Handspan funded the purchase of several goats for the community to start a breeding program. To support the community better and ensure for the kids a better nutrition, a better sanitation and a better education, we are launching a campaign to get support from friends and people who care.

The campaign will last until the 25^th of September. On the occasion of Têt Trung Thu [mid-autumn festival = kids festival], few Handspaners will travel along a team from the project Anh Sang Nui Rung to the village and bring along the goats and the donations made during the campaign.

You want to get involved and bring some support? Here is how you can help:

• Sponsor the lunch of 1 kid for 1 month [150.000 VND]
  Sponsor the lunch of 1 kid for 1 year [1.350.000 VND]
• Donate toothbrushes and toothpaste.
• Donate school material [pen, note books, color pencils, etc.]
• Donate Vietnamese school books for Grade 1 and Grade 2.

No time to lose. Please contact Handspan to make your donations and get further information if you need.
