Announcement: The completion of saigonchildren’s 30 years of support at Thăng Long English and vocational training school

date_range2024-11-11

On 20 October 1994, the People’s Committee of District 04 issued Decision No. 1373/QĐ-UB, allowing the establishment of the Thăng Long English and Vocational Training School (Thăng Long School) under the District 4 Department of Education. The founding day of Thăng Long School also marked the beginning of saigonchildren’s commitment to supporting the school in creating a nurturing educational environment to cultivate, nurture, and develop the potential of disadvantaged children. 

Countless English lessons filled with laughter, joy, and the active participation of teachers and students; innumerable sessions where teachers and students worked closely and diligently in preparation for each MOS computer exam; field trips allowing children to immerse themselves in nature and experience life’s vibrant beauty; and community service activities where children observed, engaged with, and came to understand the diverse circumstances in society. Through this, they realised that no matter their own challenges, there is always enough love to share with others. And there are many, many more fond memories. 

Over the past three decades, generations of thousands of children participating in Thăng Long School’s activities have grown up, found success, and achieved happiness not only through the knowledge and skills provided by the school but also by being nurtured in the love, care, and support of their teachers. 

Saigonchildren is proud to witness the growth of many generations who studied at Thăng Long School and to have played a part in their success. Saigonchildren believes that the knowledge and skills Thăng Long School has imparted over the years will help these children confidently walk their own path ahead. Therefore, as of 01 January 2025, saigonchildren will officially conclude its support activities at Thăng Long School. 

Saigonchildren will continue its mission wherever there are children facing hardship and where efforts to support their schooling are needed, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to enjoy a safe and happy childhood in school; to realise their full potential; and to live a better life through education. 

To commemorate the beautiful journey that saigonchildren and Thăng Long School have shared over the past three decades, saigonchildren will host an exhibition, “30 Years at Thăng Long School,” open to the public from 02 December to 08 December 2024. 

Over the last 30 years, we believe countless memorable moments—photographs, drawings, letters, old notebooks, etc.—have been created and preserved by thousands of individuals connected to the school. At this upcoming exhibition celebrating saigonchildren’s 30 years of activities at Thăng Long School, we hope these cherished items will be displayed and shared, allowing us to reflect, remember, and honour the impact the school has made on the generations of students who attended. 

We sincerely call upon alumni, teachers, partners, and anyone who has ever been connected to the school to reach out and share their personal stories and memories [HERE] so that together we can contribute to a meaningful ceremony, bringing to a close this brilliant chapter with love and pride.
