Vietnamese children join SCG Sharing the Dream Playground

Apart from joining various knowledgeable, creative and fun activities, the children also receive scholarships and many useful gifts for welcoming the new academic year. This is the second event of SCG for kids in International Children Day this year, after the first one taking place at Ba Ria – Vung Tau Disabled Children’s Training School,and a part of many programs SCG has organised to enhance children development in Vietnam and to celebrate the 99^th year of SCG’s operation.

Chalokeporn Phalajivin, general director of Vina Kraft Paper Company, a subsidiary of SCG in Vietnam said: “We are glad that since SCG built the Sharing The Dream Playground in Hoang Van Thu Park, the children have safe outdoors space to play and the parents have a place to spend time with their children. For us, helping the children to have fully development is also as important as improving their living condition. We hope that this event was able to create a healthy space for children to develop, in line with Action Month for Children started by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs.”
