FPT donates computer room for poor children in Hue

Diệu Viên Temple in Huế

The GFO – Dieu Vien center hopes to initially improve children’s knowledge of computing and English and help them to develop their social knowledge through its open library.
The center will teach fun-learning programs so that children can learn necessary life skills. It also plans to facilitate children’s access to orientation programs, acting as the bridge between companies and the children, helping them find stable jobs after graduation from orientation courses.

Ms. Trương Thanh Thanh – Deputy Chairman of FPT Management Board said: As the leading IT Corporation in Vietnam, FPT is aware of its responsibility to the community. Sharing and contributing to the community, and trusted by the community, is part of FPT corporate culture.

This event is part of FPT’s effort to help out remote mountainous communes and regions during the past several years.

With the dream of bringing equal education opportunities to children with difficulties in Vietnam, the GFO – Dieu Vien Center is part of GFO’s campaign of opening up Studying Centers around Vietnam, the second of its kind in Vietnam after the first was opened in Hochiminh City.
