The representatives of
International SOS Children’s Village (International SOS) and Binh Dinh
Provincial People’s Committee have signed an agreement to establish the SOS
Children’s Village and some other projects worth 40 billion VND in Qui Nhon,
Binh Dinh Province. This is the 14th SOS
children’s village in Vietnam funded by International SOS. It will be built on
an area of 4.6ha in two phases. The first phase includes the Qui Nhon SOS
Children’s Village and a kindergarten. The Village has 14 families and necessary
facilities to foster 120-140 children. The kindergarten has six classes for
180-200 pupils. The second phase includes the projects on the SOS Youth’s
Dormitory, the SOS Social Centre and other programmes for researching and
assessing the “children with needs” in Binh Dinh Province. These projects will
target Binh Dinh Province’s children and will receive needy children from
neighbouring provinces to reach full capacity.
On November 13,
1008 the ground-breaking ceremony of Dien Bien SOS Children’s Village funded by
International SOS was held. Siddhartha Kaul, Deputy General Secretary of
International SOS Children’s Village said that in the next three years
International SOS would fund the establishment of a SOS children’s village in
Gia Lai.
