Mat Ngot Library project for children in mountainous areas brings joys

The groundbreaking ceremony of Mat Ngot was attended by INSEE Vietnam Co., representatives of the Economic Department of Bac Ai District, representatives of the authorities of Phuoc Tan Commune, the Board of Directors of Phuoc Tan A Primary School, and a group of students – the owners of the Mat Ngot Library for children in mountainous areas.

This library is inspired by a Jewish way of teaching young children to be more interested in reading by dripping honey onto books, thus drawing their attention to discovering the vast treasure of knowledge.

The project was built by a group of students from the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam National University and has won the Championship Award of the 2021 INSEE Prize.

The construction is expected to bring a safe and sustainable playing and learning space for pupils in mountainous areas, partly contributing to the goal of developing educational facilities and improving the well-being of the community.

Amidst the exciting atmosphere of the groundbreaking ceremony, Dang Thi Ly, principal of Phuoc Tan A Primary School, gave a short speech at this special event, "To me, the Mat Ngot library project is a very meaningful gift, helping the pupils at this school to have closer access to the valuable spiritual food of books. Besides studying at school, reading is one of the children's companions on the journey of sowing the seeds of knowledge.”

With a great deal of effort from INSEE Vietnam and its partners, including Kingspan Co., Ltd., Western Refrigeration Electric Co., Ltd., Nippon Paint Vietnam Co., Ltd., GreenViet Green Building Consultancy Co., Ltd., Vietnam Green Building Council, Bridgestone Tire Sales Vietnam LLC, R.E.E Electric Appliances JSC, and CONWOOD Vietnam, the project has been actualised, providing a reading place with adequate facilities and books that are suitable for the children and their extracurricular activities.

The project is coming true and the pupils at Phuoc Tan A Primary School will have a sustainable space to cultivate their knowledge and carry out other meaningful extracurricular activities.

INSEE will constantly strive to bring together such activities to develop and improve the quality of community life in parallel with its production and business activities – in accordance with the brand philosophy of Build For Life that the company has set.
