I never forget the first time I attended CHEER’s training course in Hue, 2003. It was such a special one that started the bond of CHEER and teachers from Hue like me since then. Time’s really passed by but the memory of the Summer cheerful days with American and Vietnamese teachers is not pale in [...]
I don’t know how to say…Words can’t express my emotions now. I just know that each academic year, when the summer comes, my heart beats with joy because I have chance to meet everybody, to work, to talk and to listen to each other.
Dear CO, It has been a long time since I had a good chance to attend Tier 1 and Tier 2! First, I would like to say Thanks to CHEER for all that you have done for us, Vietnamese teachers of English. I myself have learnt from VTTP a lot of valuable things, especially the teaching [...]

It is at this village that CHEER established its first ten non-interest revolving loan programs. Six years later, Binh Dien has changed from a poor village to a self-sufficient one. The families who [...]
All children who go to CHEER sponsored kindergartens enjoy a full day of activities, a hot lunch, nap time, and snack. Each school has two classrooms, two restrooms, a large kitchen/eating area, and a front and back yard. Most schools were able to fence the school’s yard with native plants. Classrooms are equipped with desks [...]
