This is a community project in which TEC members have been giving hands to financially and emotionally support the orphans of Tam Duc orphanage https://www.facebook.com/maiam.tinhthuong/about . The objectives are to enhance the spirit of mutual support and to encourage the young to lead a healthy meaningful life. Along the way, TECers have offered some free labour days during the stage of constructing the new home for the orphans at Duc Hoa, Long An. Especially, the fund-raising project by Nguyen Tran Phuong Tram successfully collected more than 6 million dongs from the capital of 150,000 dong through selling lucky hand-made bracelets to donate the orphanage.

English for Change is a group of students of Tan Tao University founded at November 2013. The idea has been developed after a course in Leadership and Communications and grown by a business plan contest, which is “Luong Van Can Prize for the Talent”. After getting a prize, we definitely think that it would be real in someday, so we started up.

This project wants to bring a focus and improvement of English communication skills to Vietnamese students, particularly in Duc Hoa, Long An province. We build English speaking and listening program and its application to contribute to the secondary students as an English course. However, this project as well as a student’s business plan does not tend to gain the profit, but it collects a small amount of money to turn about capital and internal development. Up to now, the basic program for forthcoming course is almost completed by TTU students guided y TTU ESL teachers. Also, this project wishes to deliver English knowledge to people as much as we can through volunteer activities such as English teaching to kindergarden.

English for Change has the support and the counseling of contest’s board, TTU Executive Board and faculty who have experience in both teaching and business running. Besides, there are also two groups of students, one is a hardworking core team and the other is an enthusiastic volunteer team. We are all together and cooperate to bring to potential learners the best service. Moreover, we want to contribute our ability to the development of community. The objective of the project is the Tan Duc secondary school, located next to Tan Tao University’s dormitory.
