Long Dien community is one of the 23 communities belongs to Ban Me Thuot Diocese. We have presented in Long Dien since 1982. At the beginning years of present, we recognized the needs of education to ethnic’s children because they lived in remote villages and there were no basic health care, no schools in their places so all of them lacked of education. Then we had opened a place for them to come, to stay with us and to learn from Sisters.
The children belonged to minority groups, their families were very poor. They remain very much dependent on agriculture and forestry. The villagers would prefer the children work in the fields to help to raise money to buy food. They feel that they could not manage school fees. A final reason for the lower schooling rates is the lack of bilingual education.
To help them to overcome these difficulties and to develop their life standards for generations. In 1990, the RNDM Sisters started to take care of 50 children who were in primary school and secondary school. Yearly, the number of children has increased gradually. Since 2012 until this year, we have been encouraged by benefactors to welcome over 100 children.
