At the inauguration ceremony, Mr. Le Nguyen Hoa, representative of the Vietnam Talent Development Fund, said : “Vietnam is a country with dense rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, and canals, but there are many children who do not know how to swim, causing heartbreaking drowning incidents. Therefore, teaching children to swim is extremely necessary because it not only helps them equip themselves with self-protection skills but also helps parents feel more secure when their children come into contact with water. Therefore, when the government launched the P Program to Prevent Drowning for Vietnamese Children, the Vietnam Talent Development Fund decided to respond, join hands with the government, and sponsor pools in many localities to teach swimming to children in the area. This is also the reason why the Vietnam Talent Development Fund donated a free community swimming pool to Chu Se district, located at Nguyen Du Primary and Secondary School. Hopefully, with this pool, many local children will know how to swim. We also hope that this will be the beginning, helping to discover and 'incubate' for future swimming talent of the country's sports ".
Nguyen Du Primary and Secondary School is located in a remote area of Chu Se District, Gia Lai Province. The school currently has 632 students, but the rate of students who cannot swim is up to 92%. Chu Se District has had many drowning accidents in the past year because the children were not equipped with swimming skills. Up to now, Chu Se District has more than 50 schools, but only has one old communal swimming pool with limited area.
Therefore, immediately after receiving the request from the Gia Lai Provincial Red Cross, the Vietnam Talent Development Fund conducted a survey and decided to sponsor a swimming pool with standard swimming teaching size for children (6m x 12m) for Nguyen Du Primary and Secondary School. In addition, the pool is also equipped with a chlorine-mixed water filtration pump system and a modern 8-wheel cleaning table to ensure the best water quality for students learning to swim.
In particular, on this occasion, the Vietnam Talent Development Fund also presented 148 children's swimming goggles and 230 boxes of Nuvi fruit milk to teachers and students of Nguyen Du Primary and Secondary School. The total sponsorship cost this time was worth more than 100 million VND.

Mr. Tran Dang Dong, the school's principal, was moved to say: "For a long time, the school's Board of Directors has longed for a pool to teach swimming to students. And today, that dream has come true. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to sincerely thank the Vietnam Talent Development Fund for sponsoring a pool that is not only good, durable but also beautiful for the school. We will start teaching swimming to the students this summer."
Not only the Board of Directors, but also the students studying at Nguyen Du Primary and Secondary School were extremely happy when the swimming pool was inaugurated and put into operation.
Siu Ly (5A2 student) excitedly said: “So I’m going to learn to swim soon. I’ve already signed up for swimming lessons this summer. I hope I can swim by the end of the summer so I won’t be afraid of water like before.”

In addition to Nguyen Du Primary and Secondary School, this lake will also become a swimming teaching location for many neighboring schools in Chu Se district, thereby contributing to preventing drowning for local children.
Initiated by three famous businessmen and football bosses: Mr. Doan Nguyen Duc - Chairman of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group; Mr. Vo Quoc Thang - Chairman of Dong Tam Joint Stock Company and Mr. Tran Thanh Hai - Chairman of Nutifood Company; The Vietnam Talent Development Fund will help nurture talents to develop their strengths in many different fields such as: culture, arts, sports, etc. Besides "incubating" talents, the Vietnam Talent Development Fund will also accompany and be present wherever society needs it.
The Fund's budget is drawn from the profits of the Ông Bầu Coffee system. Accordingly, Ông Bầu Coffee will deduct 1,000 VND from each drink sold to contribute directly to the Fund.
