Kim Son is a charity school which offers primary education for students from underprivileged families in Vinh Luong located 15 km north of Nha Trang. Founded at the Kim Son Pagoda in 1994 by the Buddhist nun, Thich Nu Dieu Phuc, the school has been opening its door to many under-served children to obtain basic education. Many parents cannot afford the fees of public schools, so the nuns at Kim Son have taken it upon themselves to ensure the children in their community receive standard education in order for them to prepare for higher education. The school is registered under the Department of Education, therefore their curriculum allows the students to continue pursuing higher education once they decide to transfer out of the school. Kim Son also has a free vocational school for those seeking a career in tailoring. Current 60-100 students from grade 1 to 5. BeCause will support the school by providing: – Standard curriculum books for students from grade 1 to 5 – Stationary supplies and/or uniforms

Duong and Hanh had been roommates during their four years at Drexel University. They have become best friends, partners in crimes, and best teammates. Back in their early days, it was compassion that drove them to help others by participating in local volunteer / charity activities. Now despite the distance and living across the world, Duong & Hanh are very excited to be united as the project champions to share their fortune for those in needs.
