Country Director Good Neighbors in Vietnam
Hello!
I am Park Dong Chul, Country Director of Good Neighbors International (GNI) in Vietnam.
First of all, I would like to wish all of our partners, children and local people in the project areas of GNI health and peace.
In 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic continued to pose significant impacts on our lives. And I think that, to overcome it, both efforts of the Government and organizations play an important role. Along with changing the awareness of community members, by the year 2022, the pandemic situation in Vietnam is gradually changed into “Safe and flexible adaptation to Covid-19”.
Considering the ongoing pandemic, GNI still endeavors to make a better world, where children can live happily. Our efforts shall be summarized and shared in the 2021 Annual report.
The most notable thing in 2021 is the efforts of GNI to contribute to improving child protection system at national level. We have discussed the policies related to the child protection system with the Department of Child and National Helpline 111. With the support of educational agencies, we have established and operated the school counseling room at schools to help children, teenagers and youngsters in psychological and emotional terms. With those positive and various activities, we expect that in 2022, GNI will continue improving the effectiveness of child protection work.
Activities of supporting facilities of GNI have brought about significant changes at schools. GNI supported to build and renovate the libraries in 06 CDPs so that students have more comprehensive chance for development. Along with that, income generation activities have brought hope for sustainable development for children, their families and communities. Also to support people during the tough year of Covid-19 pandemic, GNI gave necessities and medical supplies to provinces/cities of Vietnam.
In 2022, GNI plans to open a new CDP in Ho Chi Minh City. This show the vision to make GNI a development INGO in the whole country, and also to run child protection programs at national level. Through that, GNI will strive to support more children and make the world a better place. We really look forward to your attention and support in our activities.
