As a student in 7th grade, while cycling ten kilometers from Binh Minh to Can Tho University to learn English, I saw a group of tour guides speaking English very well and travelling in a car. It looked very “cool” to me. After that, I harbored a simple dream of becoming “a tour guide”- like them. That dream has changed me. Something in my subconscious kept urging me to learn English well, and my dream finally came true. Not only did I become a tour guide but I have been able to do much better things as well.
- Children’s dreams can start from many sources of motivation. It can be a situation happening around, or it can come from a story, an encouraging statement, an instruction, etc… Among them, books are considered a rich source of inspiration.
Books give children more knowledge and awareness. In addition, good stories and inspirational experiences shared in books can give children a dream. A dream can change a life and changing a child’s life will lead to changing many generations in the future”.
While we are helping to provide food, shoes, and money for children to go to school, we also have a dream of building libraries in remote areas so that children there can have access to knowledge.
Be Better Foundation would like to call for help from the public with this project. Benefactors can give money which will be used to buy books or donate old books.
Kinds of books recommended for children are:
- Encyclopedia: books about science, the plant and animal world, and general knowledge.
- Books about success stories and inspirational stories of overcoming difficulties.
- Self-help books.
- Books about ethics and filial piety.

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.”
