Education.
CDF has been dedicated to expanding access to quality education for all. From specialized English classes designed for the visually impaired to providing essential computer skills, our initiatives have prioritized inclusivity and accessibility. In the past, we have also conducted comprehensive teacher training sessions to equip educators with the tools and knowledge necessary to support diverse learners effectively. At CDF, our commitment to transforming lives through education remains steadfast.
01
English for blind kids
Since 2019, CDF have been able to organize two English Courses for Visually Impaired Students from Quang Tri School for Children with Disabilities. EIS English Center is our partner to this course. 11 visually impaired students from 5 to 13 have joined this conversational English course taught by Mr. Neil Lunch from Scotland and other three Vietnamese teachers. The course helped these children to be able to communicate with foreign guests and donors and other foreign friends visiting the school. Most importantly, it helped these disabled children to be more confident in social interactions. CDF is thankful for the kind support from Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt for funding this meaningful project.
02
Inclusive education & training for teachers
Inclusive Education is critical to disabled children because it allows them to be in class with non-disabled friends. It helps to develop friendships, relationships and mutual respect between all children, and between children and teachers in the school. In 2019, a new inclusive education training is provided for 50 teachers who are teaching at public schools and are in charge of some disabled students in their classes. A lecturer from Hue University was providing them with knowledge on how to handle mixed classes. Children from four districts in Quang Tri province benefited from this project. The project was the collaboration effort between CDF and Eye Will.
03
Computers for Ham Nghi Primary School
Computers are becoming essential during Covid-19 for education of young children. A project to provide computers for training of primary school students in Ham Nghi Primary School was conducted in Summer 2020. CDF is excited to receive a gift of 6 computers from a friend who wants to promote IT learning for young students in Quang Tri. 430 children from 3 to 5 from Ham Nghi Primary School were excited to receive this gift and computer training. During lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, the children are able to use the skills for online classes.
04
English language for high school students in Quang Tri
In September 2021, five high schools in Quang Tri province participated into an English Contest titled Stay Resilient in Covid-19 Pandemic. The program includes two parts: micro-project and an online language performance. Each team was granted a small amount of money to conduct a micro-project that help frontliners and other vulnerable people and/or create a communication program to raise awareness of the risk of Covid-19 and prevention approaches. The program was highly appraised by Quang Tri Department of Education and Training.
