 <\/p>\n

At the end of 2017<\/span>, construction started on a 2nd<\/sup><\/span> kindergarten and a small residence for several sisters, near the formation house in Lai Thieu.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

S<\/span>ince 2018, kindergarten classes have been offered to 50 children, supported by a community of 4 sisters.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some candidates living in the main monastery assist daily at the kindergarten.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The school has evolved to accommodate 80 to 100 pre-schoolers.<\/p>\n

A small plot of land(140m2), near Lai Thieu, was bought in 2020.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On this land, construction of a traditional medicine consultation centre began in 2021 and is now fully operational.<\/p>\n

Preschool education<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

The former housing in District 9 became too small for 20 people, so in November 2010, construction began on a new building for both the community and a kindergarten.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In 2011, the sisters moved in to live the religious life and accommodate the 60 preschoolers.<\/p>\n

\n

The sisters are actively involved in the parish with teaching catechism, playing the organ, leading the choir and flower arrangement. They help the poor through visits and support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Three classrooms are made available to teach illiterate people, both children and adults.<\/div>\n
