The new school year has started! ~ Guest blog by CEF's Ms Ngoc

It’s an exciting time of year with the new school year having started a week ago throughout Vietnam.  
Vietnamese students are eager to welcome in the new academic year with their dear teachers and friends and so are the CEF children. Our sponsored children are very happy to have the chance to continue their education. Thanks to CEF’s sponsorship program, they have money to pay for their school fees, other necessary fees, stationery, uniforms and some of their extra tuition classes which contribute towards them being able to improve their results. They are keen to continue their schooling because they strongly believe that education is the only way for them to escape from poverty and lead them to a bright future.

We, at CEF, always encourage them and try to help provide support for our girls to make progress with their education.
