Construction projects in the rural countryside of Vietnam is no easy task. The equatorial climate, insects, and distance from supplies and uncertain access to them have all created challenges to our work on the classrooms. However, we at the YMCA are no strangers to unexpected challenges and instead of complaints or negativity you hear us joking, laughing and singing work songs as we band together to tackle whatever tasks, expected or otherwise that comes before us.
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.
