On April 19, the People's Committee of An Phu Ward (Tinh Bien Town) held a groundbreaking ceremony to build 3 classrooms for Khmer people at Ta Ngao Pagoda, funded by the Tuong Nguyen Pagoda Charity Association (District 4, Ho Chi Minh City). Vice Chairman of Tinh Bien Town People's Committee Ly Thuy Van, religious dignitaries and many Khmer people attended.
Accordingly, the classrooms have a total area of 260m2, with a total construction cost of 1.2 billion VND, creating conditions for local Khmer people to access ethnic language education programs and preserve community cultural values.
This is the second pagoda supported by the Tuong Nguyen Pagoda Charity Association to build classrooms in Tinh Bien town, contributing significantly to the propaganda work, launching the socialization movement to build works serving the community's interests, practically welcoming the 2025 United Nations Vesak Festival held in Vietnam.
On this occasion, Tuong Nguyen Pagoda Charity Association also presented 100 gifts to Khmer students in difficult circumstances, encouraging them to strive to improve their lives.
