A GROUP OF TWELVE STUDENTS FROM THE U.S.A. ARRIVED BY BUS FROM HA NOI TO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO HELP CREATE A SPLIT BAMBOO FENCE AROUND A SCHOOL DORMITORY AND TO PLANT TREES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY FORM A THICK HEDGE TO ENCLOSE THE BOUNDARY OF THE DORMITORY. THE STUDENTS WHO LIVE HERE ARE THE CHILDREN OF ETHNIC TRIBES LIVING IN SUCH ISOLATION THAT THEY DO NOT SPEAK THE VIETNAMESE LANGUAGE. THEY HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES SO THEY CAN LEARN VIETNAMESE AND LIVE IN CROWDED DORMITORIES DURING THE SCHOOL WEEK. THEY UNDERTOOK TO DO THEIR OWN BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT BY PAINTING MURALS ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. To get more information on the Global Village Foundation, please click HERE
