YMCA International Services and the YMCA of Greater Houston host a project to build or repair elementary school classrooms in rural Vietnam. The construction of the schools is combined with a two week-long service learning opportunity for participants to assist with the construction of the classrooms as they learn about Vietnam's people and places.

Here We Go!
This is it! I'm getting ready to leave for the airport and meet up with my fellow Y's Crackers from Kentucky... the six of us will join the delegates from the Houston and Seattle Ys in Hong Kong and then finish the last leg of our trip together to Vietnam. Our entire group - 20 of us from the States and 5 Y Vietnam staff will be working on a school in the Ben Tre Province. This project is similar to a Habitat for Humanity build, but with schools. Very cool! More details and pictures to follow...
