Continuing the mission of kindness, the Dewey Tay Ho Tay Community Fund, in collaboration with Edufit Corporation, has launched the charitable initiative “Coats for Kids” to bring warmth, love, and support to Bao Nam 1 Semi-Boarding Ethnic Elementary School. This initiative is part of the “Dream School” project, which aims to nurture dreams and provide motivation for students in remote mountainous areas to continue their education.
Bao Nam 1 Semi-Boarding Ethnic Elementary School is located in a particularly disadvantaged border district of Nghe An province. All of its students are from the Khmu ethnic minority, with 85% coming from impoverished or near-impoverished households. Their journey to education is filled with hardships and scarcity. Seeing children braving the harsh winter cold in thin, inadequate clothing, the Dewey Tay Ho Tay Community Fund is committed to delivering warmth and care to the school by donating winter coats to its students.
The “Coats for Kids” campaign is also an opportunity for the Dewey student community to spread the spirit of compassion by donating coats, scarves, and hats to young students at Bao Nam 1. Each coat sent is not only a shield against the freezing winter but also a source of encouragement, helping these children continue their education and pursue their dreams for the future.
