Charitable Giving
Books have changed my life.
So, I’m giving back. Charisse and I started with a LitLiberation project of author Tim Ferris.
Along with Tim Ferris (best-selling author of The 4-Hour Work Week), Room to Read, and a few others, we raised over $17,000 to build a two-building preschool in Viet Nam.
This is the plaque on the new preschool building
The Tien Giang Province is located in the North of the Mekong Delta, along the Tien River. It lies south of Long An, north of Vinh Long and Ben Tre, west of Ho Chi Minh City, and east of Dong Thap. This province is made up of many districts including Go Cong Dong District.
Vam Lang Commune is one of 8 villages in the Go Cong Dong District. Vam Lang Commune has 4 hamlets: Lang Hamlet, Cho Hamlet, Doi Ma 2 Hamlet and Doi Ma 1 Hamlet. The new preschool will be built in Doi Ma 1 Hamlet.

- “Fruit and vegetable corner.” Many of the toys were handmade by the teachers.

- After lunch, the children take a nap.

- These children are napping near the “animal corner.”
-
- Because there is no kitchen, the corridor is set up for lunch.

- The teacher greets the children after their naps.

- This is where the new building will be constructed.
