DAT'S STORY
HOPE: Give Dat the opportunity to attend a preschool for kids with special needs for one year. Afterwards, pending improvement, he will be able to attend a local Vietnamese school, giving both him and his family a hope for the future.
HELP: Tuition for the school is $200/month.
DAT'S STORY
Currently, Dat lives on a river boat
on the Sông Lạch Tray River in Vietnam.
His parents fish all day to make a living
of about $3.00 a day.
They collect trash off the river in exchange for pennies.
After the suggestion of a doctor in Hanoi, Ms. Ha and Alyssa took Dat and his mother to a preschool in town. The school specializes in children with special needs and the director is well-educated in psychology and child development. She watched and worked with Dat during their hour visit and was encouraged by his eye-contact, perseverance, and interactions.
Dat just needs a chance. A chance at education. A chance to listen, learn, and speak. A chance to break this cycle of poverty. His mother is illiterate, but not unfeeling as she was brought to tears during their meeting as she explained her situation; one that, from her point of view, seems so hopeless.
But you and I, we have a different point of view. We sit surrounded by abundance. Would you spread the love and give Dat a chance?
