Schools Built By SM
Our 2008 School Projects
Our overall goal for the school building program this year is 15 classrooms. This goal was established based on our ability to successfully deliver the projects in the rapid cost escalation environment and the planned 2008 fundraising effort. Our target areas for 2008 are Ca Mau, Bac Lieu, Can Tho, and a province in the Central Highland such as Phu Yen.
Schools Built In 2007
In 2007, our focus for school projects continued to be in the Mekong Delta of Viet Nam. Specifically we concentrated our efforts in the coastal province of Kien Giang and built a total of 20 classrooms in 10 schools throughout the province. In all, over 1000 students will benefit from these schools for years to come.
