Mai Son kindergarten – Mai Son hamlet, Ba Long Commune, Dakrong District, Quang Tri province
Mai Son is one of six hamlets that make up the Ba Long commune. Ba Long commune’s population of 3,500 people live in a mountainous area and work in agriculture. The population is quite dispersed and the roads are not great especially in the rainy season. The commune has a main kindergarten in another hamlet; the satellite kindergarten is in Mai Son. The current classrooms are small and in poor condition and many children are unable to attend due to lack of space.
The Ptarmigan Foundation has generously agreed to fund this kindergarten.
