Welcoming and Collaborating with French Volunteers

13/09/2025 Views: 13 Admin

In July and August 2025, Thien Chi Center had the honor of welcoming and working with French volunteers in a variety of meaningful activities. This was a valuable opportunity for both sides to exchange experiences, share knowledge, and jointly implement practical programs for the benefit of the community.

Key activities during this period included providing microloans for poor households, enabling them to develop sustainable livelihoods through investment in suitable crops and livestock adapted to local conditions. In addition, the volunteers and Thien Chi team collaborated on scholarship programs, offering educational opportunities to disadvantaged students and supporting their journey to school.

The presence of French volunteers not only brought valuable resources but also created an atmosphere of cultural exchange, strengthening the spirit of international cooperation. Their contributions demonstrated the close bond between international friends and local communities, working hand in hand to build a better life for the people.

This collaboration marked an important milestone, affirming the commitment of Thien Chi Center to improving the lives of vulnerable groups, while also fostering solidarity and friendship across borders.
