On November 2, the area in Dien Trung was evacuated in anticipation of the
incoming Super Typhoon (which just passed the Philippines and killed many
people and destroyed homes and businesses on several islands) and the group
of Rotarians and Friends in the Rotary HumaniTour was not able to visit the
school. At the time, the school was only 85% completed, and the delay of the
school construction was caused by the damages from the major typhoon landed
directly in Danang in early October 2006.
Son Michael Pham of the
University Club is very happy to report that the school is now completed and
the dedication ceremony is scheduled on December 17, 2006.
