It is known that Mr and Mrs. Mackin are newly appointed and in charge of the South of Vietnam by LDSC until June 2024. At the meeting, the delegation wishes to learn more about the two projects introduced by the DUFO at the Conference on FNG aid mobilization and cooperation "Cooperation and Development" in Dong Nai, specifically: the project "Education for deaf students at the Research Center on Culture andd Language of the Deaf" presented by Dong Nai University and the project "Houses construction for ethnic minorities" presented by the Provincial Department of Ethnic Minority Affairs.

Representative of Dong Nai University, Mr. Le Anh Duc - Rector of the school, said that the Research Center on Culture andd Language of the Deaf is the only educational location in the country that trains deaf students from grade 1 to college and university level. So far, the Center has trained more than 30 college and university graduates who later work as teachers in the provinces, including 7 students who have worked for and collaborated with the Center after their graduation. Although it has been partially funded by the budget, there isn’t enough costs and facilities for learning and teaching. The students at the Center are not only local ones but also from other provinces and cities with different backgrounds. If the project is supported for implementation, it will create favourable conditions for the deaf students and teachers of the center to have enough learning equipment, the costs for teaching and learning activities, and the suitable educational environment so that more and more deaf children can go to school, learn and widen knowledge to help them confidently communicate and integrate into the community.

For the project ""Houses construction for ethnic minorities"", Mr. Dieu Ngoc Anh, representative of the Provincial Department of Ethnic Minority Affairs, said that currently there are 2,572 ethnic minority households living in temporary shelters or accommodations donated many years ago and  deteriorated. In addition, Hamlet 4, Ta Lai Commune, Tan Phu District is a remote, disadvantaged area, adjacent to Nam Cat Tien National Forest, with a high proportion of ethnic minorities. Most of them are the poor households. Since then there has been a great need for NGOs, donors to cooperate with the government to solve difficulties for the people, especially housing for poor households, building roads, providing clean water for daily life, sponsoring bicycles and scholarships for children to go to school, preserving brocade weaving culture, grant breeds for cattle and animal husbandry to reduce poverty...
