Past Projects

Library of Cuong Chinh Secondary School, Vietnam

In 2016, Project Mindge collaborated with the Faculty of Sciences and World Vision Vietnam to build a one-storey library at Cuong Chinh Secondary School with 352 students. The new library would be crucial to promote the reading habit and literacy of the students. 13 Civil Engineering students and 7 Social Sciences students had been deeply involved in this construction project for 7 weeks. They assisted in the construction works and monitored the construction progress. During the construction, they gained knowledge on construction techniques that never had been learnt before in formal lectures. They also participated in World Vision local research projects of conducting need assessments in nearby communes. They discussed with the local people on what they needed and what problems or facilities they thought requiring improvements. They conducted a comprehensive study on reading habits of the local children and evaluated the Wash, Sanitation and Health (WASH) situation of the secondary school where we built a toilet in 2015 summer. Upon completion of the programme, our students shared their experiences at World Vision Hong Kong Office.
