In addition, CapitaLand Hope Foundation also funded scholarships with total value of 100 million Vietnam Dong, to all students in Grade 5 to support them for their last grade of Primary School as they prepare to enter into Secondary School.

Mr. Chen Lian Pang, CEO of CapitaLand Vietnam, said “CapitaLand, through CapitaLand Hope Foundation, is committed to support underprivileged children through its community development efforts in countries where it operates. Beyond building Hope Schools, we are committed to giving time and attention to the schoolchildren through volunteer initiatives as well. As such, students and teachers of the two existing Hope Schools have grown familiar with CapitaLand Vietnam and Ascott staff. We hope that the schoolbags donated today will give the students at the two Hope Schools a head start in life and bring them the joy of learning.”

Ms. Ho Hai Yen, the Principal of Nang Yen Primary School, said: “In May 2011, CapitaLand helped to build a new two-storey school building as well as to upgrade the existing school facilities. Since then, CapitaLand’s staff have returned back to visit our students very regularly. Recently, on March 2016, over 50 CapitaLand staff volunteers and senior management embarked on a five-day volunteer expedition to our CapitaLand Nang Yen Primary Hope School to help build more toilets and sheltered walkways to cater to the growing pupil population, cemented damaged walls, and refurbished the library with more shelves”

CapitaLand has now built two Hope Schools in Vietnam for 500 students, in Phu Tho province (Nang Yen Primary Hope School) and in Long An province (Thanh Phuoc A Primary Hope School). This year, the company is also identifying the location for a third Hope School in Vietnam.
