Running for Clean Water in Khe Sanh Village, Vietnam

Anica from South Africa & Bryony from the UK will be running a half marathon (21km) on behalf of Fisher's SuperKids English Center in Vietnam to raise funds for a small underprivileged village of 125 people in Khe Sanh Village, on the border of Laos and Vietnam. The funds will go towards the building of a water well, in order to provide clean and safe water for the village. Currently, they don't have access to clean water. The only water source in the village is a polluted river (water for washing, cooking and drinking) which is causing sickness and health problems.

Fundraising Goal: $1,150

Our History in Khe Sanh:

In 2018 & 2019 an outreach team from Fisher’s SuperKids reached out to the rural village of Khe Sanh—located in Vietnam's Quang Tri Province. Together, with the George and Arizona Foundation, FSEC raised enough funds and support (from teachers, staff, and parents) for the rebuilding and repainting of the kindergarten and primary school. The team repainted the schools, constructed a new fence, built a playground, library and soccer field.

This outreach project was an expression of our shared responsibility for the Khe Sanh community. We have been given much, therefore we give back to the community. We believe that ‘love’ is not only a noun, but a verb. Love in Action!
