“My shoes on the field – your shoes to school” – charity football tournament
After the recent trip to Kontum to award scholarships, I saw many children with worn-out slippers walking more than a dozen kilometers on a slippery hilly road to go to school. Leaders of Kon Plong District said that the whole district has about 5,000 students, and about half of them need a pair of shoes to go to school.

After the recent trip to Kontum to award scholarships, I saw many children with worn-out slippers walking more than a dozen kilometers on a slippery hilly road to go to school. Leaders of Kon Plong District said that the whole district has about 5,000 students, and about half of them need a pair of shoes to go to school.
I could not afford to buy so many, so I decided to organize a friendly football tournament to get my brothers to donate money for the campaign. All the remaining money after deducting organizational costs and additional sponsorship (if any) will be used to buy shoes for students in the mountainous area of Kon Plong District (Kontum). The remaining amount, I will personally contribute more from my own pocket.

Please give me some leftovers
Every day in highland and remote areas, hundreds and thousands of children require eating, studying, and growing up to be good people who benefit society.
Meals for children
“Living in the city all these years, I cannot not imagine that poverty is still harshly present in such remote places. There are places where children do not have enough food to eat, their parents can only dig into the ground and in their garden for something edible to feed their children to school.”
“Please Give Children A Dream!”
Be Better Foundation implements the campaign to build a book library for poor students in remote areas with the hope that “Books will inspire them to have a dream”, “a dream that can change a life”, ”Changing one child’s life will change many generations in the future”
The long-term scholarship program “Bring children to school”
