“Little hand” community projects
As a tradition, in late Spring, Koala House organizes its annual Art Exhibition. It is a chance for Koala House students to display their art and craft work. The items are generally sold to the visitors to the exhibition – Koala House parents. The money then goes to the Koala House fund called “Little Hand” – a fund for community development activities.
For the past few years, Koala House staff and students have been so proud to contribute their time and effort to “Little Hand” in building schools and supporting classes in remote and underprivileged mountainous areas of Vietnam.
