Hau Vien Kindergarten Playground Project

Hau Vien Kindergarten located in the Cam Lo District, Quang Tri Province of Viet Nam was built in partnership with East Meets West Foundation and LZ Russell Association in 2002.  In 2004 members of the Association became aware of several needs at the kindergarten and contributed funds specifically for the following upgrades:  

1.      The school had no cooking facilities for the children’s lunch.  It was brought by motor bike from a distance that resulted in its being cold upon arrival;  

2.      The dirt playground turned to mud during the rainy season leaving the kids stuck in the building all day;

3.      The playground had no toys on  which the children could play.  These members expressed an interest in providing funds by way of a designated donation to improve the described conditions.  The funding for these improvements came solely through those designed donations.    

We’d like to thank those who recognized these needs and being sincerely touched by these children came forward with open hearts to represent the LZ Russell Association in this gift.  Our appreciation is also to East Meets West Foundation for their assisting us in accomplishing this humanitarian effort.

Below are pictures of the cemented grounds, play yard equipment and cooking utensils.
