Over the years, Behn Meyer Vietnam has set up a fund comprising voluntary contributions from its staff to support underprivileged groups, particularly impoverished pupils seeking to continue their education.
On 18 December 2019, this fund was used to support the renovation of the library at Bui Thi Xuan primary school, located in the Binh Duong Province. The bookstore area was renewed, with new shelves installed and a new reading area built up, and the library populated with 1,150 new books. The school walls and gates were also painted over to give it a fresh new look.
Mr. Le Tri Hong, Senior Sales Manager, represented Behn Meyer Vietnam along with a few other staff to present the contributions from the fund over to the school administrators.
In summary, Behn Meyer Vietnam’s fund has supported 6 schools with 44 financial awards over the course of 2019. These schools are:
- Tam Binh Primary School, Ho Chi Minh City
- Doi Can Primary School, Tuyen Quang Province
- Hai Xuan Primary School, Nam Dinh Province
- Thien Thanh Primary School, Thanh Hoa Province
- Thang Loi Secondary School, Hanoi
- Phuong Tien Secondary School, Thai Nguyen Province
