In 2011, many poor students in Khanh Vinh District  received aid from Mai Linh. 
Over the past 5 years, Mai Linh Group, Southern Central Region & the Highlands Branch, has helped many poor students. The 5-year program “Mai Linh accompanies children to school” has showed valuable effort for the sake of the community.

Under the 2011 program “Mai Linh accompanies children to school”, a mission of Mai Linh Group, Southern Central Region & the Highlands Branch, had to wend their way over hills, through forests and across rivers to come to 14 elementary schools in the remote communes of Khanh Hiep, Son Thai, Cau Ba, Khanh Thuong, Lien Sang, etc in Khanh Vinh District.

Most of the students in the schools are poor. They were offered school things, including notebooks and pens on the occasion of a new school year. General Director Ho Minh Chau says that their priorities are community benefit and practical activities for the common sake.

Free medical examinations and gifts offered to the needy have showed their social responsibilities featuring Mai Minh’s effort with the vision to promote charity for valuable social causes. The charity program has been carried in Nha Trang City, Cam Ranh City, Ninh Hoa Town, Dien Khanh District and Khanh Vinh District, the location chosen in the fifth year.

40 gifts were offered to poor children in 14 elementary schools. A fourth grader, a Raglai ethnic minority girl named Cao Thi Xinh said, “I am very happy to receive the notebooks. I will try my best to study well to reciprocate the kindness of Mai Linh.”

Ho Minh Chau said, “Khanh Vinh is still a remote and disadvantaged district where many people are living in poverty. Mai Linh would like to help the poor children. Besides, in October 2011, Mai Linh plans to open a bus link Nha Trang – Khanh Vinh to facilitate travel there in a bid to narrow the gap between lowland and mountainous areas.
