Meet Duong. Duong has lived in the Hoa Phuong Orphanage in Hai Phong since she was four years old. Duong finished high school in June, earning very high grades. For the last several years, Kids Without Borders provided funding for Duong to take extra studies which better prepared her to continue her education beyond high school.
Earlier this week, we brought Duong to Saigon (first time on the airplane for her, and first time in this BIG city). This Friday and Saturday, Duong will take her university entrance exam. Duong plans to attend the University of Social Science and Humanities in Saigon.

The cost to be a sponsor of a Teach Me To Fish scholarship is US$350 per year for a commitment of two years. Since we launched this program ten years ago, our success rate is +90 percent; orphans from our program currently live above the poverty level, and are good contributing members to their community/society.
