Phan Chau Trinh Junior Secondary School’s February 14 groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Batschka Stiftung Founder Rudolf Walther, World University Service President Kambiz Ghawami, and Quang Nam provincial leaders.
District and provincial budgets provided the rest of the school’s VND20 billion construction bill.
The two-storey building contains 14 classrooms and a multi-function block. It will serve more than 650 pupils and become especially useful during annual flood seasons.
The project is expected to begin operation in August 2014.
Duy Chau village lies in lowlands of Duy Xuyen district. Around 60% of the village is regularly submerged each wet season, badly disrupting daily life, production, and study.
The project was designed to fulfill local education demands, as well as to function as a safety shelter for local residents against floods.
