This is the talented student Nguyen Thi Hoai Thuong from Thuy Bieu. Her mother is since eight years divorced and currently without a permanent income. One of the founders of our NGO, Mrs. Claudia Schreiber, is the godmother of the student Nguyen Thi Hoai Thuong. She pays all costs for her learning in and after the school. It is absolutely necessarily in order to pass the entrance examinations for the high school and later for the university.

In Vietnam the parents have to pay a small school fee. Some poor families are not able to pay for their children. In 2005 we supported eight talented orphans or half-orphans of a countryside primary school by paying their school fees.

For one of the divorced women we organized financial support, she was studying at an international school in Saigon and received vocational training as a professional hairdresser and shop owner. After graduation from this school, Courage e.V. enabled her to open her own hairdressing shop in the city. In this manner, she will eventually be able to employ other single women as shop assistants and expand the tradition of financial independence that Courage e.V. has initiated.
