“Until now, we have raised for the center a foundation of almost VND29 billion. This money has been collected from foreign and local organizations and benefactors such as the Lawrence S. Ting Fund for Community Sponsorship, the Kobe City Rainbow Lions Association, Saigon Pure Water (Sapuwa Co.), over VND10 billion from the city People’s Committee and almost VND6 billion from Unilever Vietnam,” said HASHO president Nguyen Cong Ai.
The 2-hectare center has an administration area, 7 classroom-workshops, two dining halls, and 10 dormitories. “Within three years, the center has trained almost 900 trainees who came from not only the city but also from other provinces, especially solitary regions. With 15 careers such as sewing, embroidering, office computing, fashion design, accounting and electronics, the center has opened 61 free-of-charge courses through online enrolment.
