One of our Year 2 topic exit points last term, held on March 22nd, was entitled ‘Our World Fair’. During this event, the Year Group managed to raise an impressive amount of 21,977,000VND to support the ‘Think Playgrounds’ project, due to Year 2 parents’ kind donations. ‘Think Playgrounds’ have worked since 2014 to build more than 200 playgrounds for children in communities that cannot afford them.
After much discussion, BVIS Hanoi and ‘Think Playgrounds’ have decided to invest this money into building a playground for more than 1000 children at Duong Nhan commune, Dong Anh, Hanoi. This community is mostly agricultural based and often faces difficulties making ends meet. We hope that a new playground will support children’s emotional and physical growth.
On May 25th, many of our Year 2 students and parents came out to Duong Nhan commune to help build this playground. Throughout the morning, we had a lot of fun painting the wooden frames and other parts of the playground, along with planting flowers in the playground area. Local children also joined in. It was such a lovely time for us all.
The playground has been open to local children since June 1st, in celebration of the International Children Day. Thank you to parents, students, teachers, and the "Think Playgrounds" Project for your support.
