In 2007, B Wyze in partnership with Room To Read and Local Community members from Tien Giang (Vietnam) completed the construction of a Computer Lab in a remote region of Vietnam.   We took a two hour trip to visit the fully operational computer lab inside the Hoa Lac Secondary School.  We had the opportunity to meet with the school principal, some of the staff members and the students who were so appreciative of the generous donation. 

Luong Hoa Lac Secondary School services a community of 10,000 people and there are over 950 students enrolled. Due to its high enrollment and limited number classrooms and teachers, the school operates in two shifts – half of the students attend classes in the morning while the other half attend classes in the afternoon. Many students who attend the school come from villages located many kilometers away and some students travel 20 to 30 kilometers each day to attend the school. Others commute back and forth to the school on the weekends and stay with relatives during the week.

 There is a weekly schedule for the computer lab so all the students and teachers have the opportunity to develop their IT skills.   The principal  was delighted that we came all the way from Canada to visit.  He feels strongly that access to the computers have provided his students with employment and educational opportunities that would be unavailable otherwise.  The computer lab is playing a key role in providing computer literacy skills and study opportunities for the school’s students.  It was such an amazing experience to see the direct impact B Wyze has made to help inspire and educate children!!!!!
