10 Years of Growing Together 🌱

For the past 10 years, HSCV and our partner The Right Hands have walked alongside Thuy and her family, providing support from family assistance and scholarships to nutritional support throughout her childhood.

Today, Thuy is in her final year of high school. Seeing how much she has grown is a meaningful reminder of what long-term support can make possible.

At our most recent meeting, HSCV, on behalf of The Right Hands, presented Thuy with an electric motorbike to support her journey to school and give her greater independence as she prepares for the next chapter of her life.

From a young girl to a young woman ready to take her next steps, Dương’s journey shows how consistent care, education, and encouragement can help a child grow with confidence. 💛

Today is the United Nations International Day of Older Persons. 🧡

Observed each year on October 1, this UN-recognized day is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of older people and the importance of ensuring they can remain connected, independent, and included in their communities.

As more of everyday life moves online, digital inclusion is increasingly part of that conversation.

In the communities where HSCV works, we are supporting older people to build confidence using digital tools, access essential online public services, recognize potential scams, and navigate the online world more safely.

For someone who is less familiar with technology, having the skills to access a service independently, or knowing who to turn to when something doesn't look right, can make an important difference.

Digital inclusion should include people of every generation. By making digital skills practical and accessible, we can help ensure older people have the confidence and support to participate in an increasingly digital world. 🧡

Learning to Stay Connected in a Digital World 📱

At 73, Mr. Lương had mainly used digital devices for everyday entertainment. Accessing public services online was different, he was not familiar with the apps and platforms or how to use them independently.

After hearing about the digital access training through his village, Mr. Lương decided to join. During the sessions, he learned how to access online public services and discovered that remembering passwords and navigating the public service website could be challenging.

But for him, learning does not stop when the training ends. He plans to review what he has learned, remember the information, and share his knowledge with people around him.

“We have to keep learning, or we will be left behind.”

The devices provided through the programme also give him more opportunities to keep practicing and stay connected with the digital changes happening in his community.

Celebrating the joy of childhood this Mid-Autumn Festival

Over the years, Mid-Autumn Festival has brought so many special moments to the children and communities we work alongside—from colorful lanterns and shared treats to games, laughter, and simply spending time together.
Looking back at these photos reminds us that supporting children is about more than education, health, and other everyday needs. It’s also about making space for joy, friendship, connection, and the experiences that make childhood special.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, we’re grateful for all the smiles, memories, and celebrations we’ve shared—and for everyone who has helped make these moments possible.

🥮🏮 Wishing the children, families, friends, and supporters in our HSCV community a joyful and meaningful Mid-Autumn Festival!

🌸 What happens inside a Blossom Club?

Step inside a Blossom Club and you’ll find students talking, laughing, working together, and discovering new things about themselves and the world around them.

Through interactive activities, group discussions, games, and creative projects, students have a supportive space to build skills that go beyond the classroom:
- Communicating and expressing their ideas
- Working together and supporting one another
- Building confidence and self-awareness
- Solving problems and making decisions
- Understanding emotions and strengthening relationships

These skills may not always appear on a report card, but they can make a meaningful difference in how young people handle challenges, connect with others, and make choices about their future.
At HSCV, we believe education is about more than academic success. Blossom Clubs give young people a place to learn, connect, grow, and build confidence in who they are and what they can achieve. 💚

Sometimes, practical support can make everyday family life a little easier. 🧡

For Kien’s mother, a new rice cooker means less time spent preparing meals and a little more time for everything else that comes with caring for her family.

“The new rice cooker makes preparing meals much easier and more convenient. I can spend less time cooking and more time caring for my children and taking care of other household tasks. It also helps save electricity and ensures we always have warm, properly cooked meals.”

At HSCV, supporting a child also means understanding the family around them. Sometimes that means education or healthcare support. Other times, it means responding to a practical household need that can ease some of the pressures of daily life.

Not every form of support needs to be big. What matters is that it responds to what a family actually needs.

For Kien’s family, this was one small thing that made an everyday difference. 🧡

Quiet and diligent, Quynh Anh has always had a genuine love for learning. Today, she is preparing to begin her second year at Ha D**g Medical College, continuing her studies and working toward the future she has set for herself.

Alongside college, Quynh Anh takes on part-time work at a handmade workshop near her school whenever her schedule allows. She travels to classes by bus each day and is learning to balance her studies, work, and growing independence.

The path has not always been easy, but Quynh Anh has continued to move forward with determination. Each new experience, from practical medical training to managing the responsibilities of daily life, is helping her become more confident and independent.

And she hasn't made that progress alone.

The encouragement and support she has received along the way have helped give her the stability to stay focused on her education and continue pursuing her goals.

To our donors who have stood alongside Quynh Anh, thank you for being part of her story. 🧡

She still has more to learn and challenges ahead, but she is moving forward with purpose and we look forward to seeing where she goes next.

Small steps can make a big difference in staying safe online. 🔐

As part of HSCV’s Digital Access activities, we’re helping people build practical skills to navigate the online world with greater confidence and safety.

That includes knowing when to STOP, CHECK and VERIFY a suspicious message, protecting personal information, using strong passwords, and adding extra security to important accounts.

These are simple habits, but they can help protect us—and the people around us—from some of the risks we encounter online every day.

Because digital confidence isn’t only about knowing how to use technology. It’s also about knowing how to use it safely.

Swipe through for a few practical reminders, and share them with a friend or family member who might find them useful. 🧡

Digital inclusion doesn't end when a training session does. 🧡

In Vật Lại, HSCV has been working alongside local Community Digital Transformation Teams to strengthen the knowledge and practical skills they can use to support others in their communities.

With support from The Access Foundation, local team members have built their confidence using digital tools, navigating online public services, recognizing online risks, and helping others do the same.

Recently, the teams came together again to practice, reflect, and strengthen those skills. But what matters most is what happens next.

Across five villages, local people now have knowledge they can continue sharing with women, older adults, families, and neighbors who may need help navigating an increasingly digital world.

That's what we hope lasts beyond the training: not simply new digital skills, but people within the community who have the confidence to help someone else.

As this period of HSCV-supported activities in Vật Lại comes to a close, the knowledge and relationships built through the project remain within the community.

🧡 We are grateful to The Access Group Foundation, our local partners, and the community members in Vật Lại who have made this work possible and who will continue taking it forward.
