Vaccination
In April 2004 DONXA started with the vaccinations in Duc Thuong, later that year Co Loa followed. Together with a local healthcare organization DONXA will see to it that children are vaccinated against hepatitis B. Because of this now and later in the lives of poor children in Duc Thuong and Co Loa won’t risk any danger of being infected with hepatitis B fever.
Tuition
Starting from 2004 DONXA intervened in the tuition of the child that is financially adopted. DONXA pays the tuition through the monthly contribution of 10 Euro, the extra costs like lunch and computer class can, if wished, be bared by the adoption parent and this through a voluntary extra contribution.
Nursery
A very special project this year is the construction of “JANNE’s Kindergarten”. In November 2003, Janne-the daughter of Carine Drikoningen- was born. Because this was her third child, the mother and father preferred not to receive presents, but suggested to donate money in profit of DONXA. With this money DONXA would able to build out a poor existing little room in a house in CO Loa to completely equipped kindergarten. Miss Loan, the Vietnamese day care mother was immediately enthusiastic about her future “JANNE’s Kindergarten”.
On 17 March 2004 we started laying the foundation of a side building in the garden of Miss Loan and on 18 April the official opening of the kindergarten was celebrated.
DONXA thanks in the first place the parents of Janne and also the family and friends of Janne for their support to this project.
Water filtration
In April 2004, five families in Trung Chau received a “water filtration pool” or a water treatment bin so they can now dispose of clean filtered water. In the first place it concerns the 5 families that at that moment have a DONXA cow. The project will possibly be expanded to other families.
Drinking water purification system
In October-2004, when Donxa came to Duc Thuong Primary School to pay the school fee for the Foster Children in the Financial Adoption Program we found out that the main board of the school always tries their best to create good conditions for children to study, but that there are still some things they could not realize, even they wanted. Being aware that it is necessary and important for the children’s health to have drinking water, a Drinking Water Purification System was sponsored to supply healthy drinking water for children and teachers at school.
This project was executed on November 2004 and inaugurated on January 30, 2005.
Medical Equipments for Duc Thuong Clinic
After carrying out the Vaccination Program, Donxa also saw that there was lack of medical equipment in Duc Thuong Clinic and that some of existing equipment was not suitable for taking care of patients in a good and hygienic way.
So Donxa decided to sponsor some equipments:
-First aids
-Childbirth delivery equipment
-Respiration support machine for the new born
-Professional equipment for dental care
-Donxa financed the dental care equipment for checking and treating all dental diseases for all children of the commune.
In the first year of the Medical Equipment Project, Donxa supports all medicines for the dental care service. And all dental treatments in Duc Thuong Clinic were free.
This project is welcomed by all children and many of them are well-treated thanks to these equipments.
Cow project: was continued in Trung Chau Commune in 2004.
When the calves were old enough, they were separated from the mother cows. DONXA investigated and choose new households for the project.
Moreover, we gave extra support to these families as they were still so poor.
Operation pogram
From June to October 2004, DONXA worked together with Hanoi Relief Association for Handicapped Children (HARAHACH) and the Institute of Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Science to operate and re-habilitate 20 children who have congenital movement malformations(8 in Tu Liem district and 12 in Soc Son District).
