The project at Linh Phu Primary School in Chiem Hoa District has a total investment of VND530 million (USD23,043) with the majority funded by Kangaroo Group through Dantri/DTiNews Newspaper.
The project is aimed to upgrade two classrooms and rooms for teachers as well as build toilets for the school.
The ground-breaking ceremony of the project
An article about the deterioration of Linh Phu Primary School was previously published on Dantri/DTiNews. Kangaroo Group then surveyed the site and decided to make a donation to the project’s implementation.
At the ground-breaking ceremony, Pham Tuan Anh, Editor-in-chief of Dantri/DTiNews, said that over the past 15 years, the newspaper had helped to carry out nearly 40 classroom projects and 17 bridge projects nationwide, including many in mountainous areas.
On September 28, the newspaper and donors will start the construction of the 18th bridge in the central province of Nghe An.
