| Form 990-EZ Part III Line 28 Program 1, line 28 Open Educational Resource OER Program In 2012 and 2013, we devoted a major amount of time and resources to building an educational platform for Vietnamese users to contribute to and to download teaching and learning materials free of charge. The goal was to help solve the lack of educational content in Vietnam. The Vietnam Open Educational Resource VOER--www.voer.edu.vn is the only comprehensive OER platform in the country of Vietnam. It has more than 20,000 knowledge modules and attracts more than 30,000 unique visitors per day. We also provide print-on-demand service which is free of charge to support several universities and individual lecturers/learners using VOER content in their teaching and learning. We printed about 50 selected topics 10 to 20 copies each topic. |
| Form 990-EZ Part III Line 28 Program 1, line 28 contd In 2012, recognizing the demanding needs of the Vietnamese users, VNF has built up a definitely new platform. Its advantages are modern interface and technical tools, faster responses, user-orientation, facilitating search work. It acts as a milestone in the development of VOER. The content provided by Vietnamese educational and research institutions, universities, and well-known professors has been moving to the new platform under trial period. |
| Form 990-EZ Part III Line 28 Program 1, line 28 contd As an active member in OER worldwide movement, VNF has developed a strong network at international, regional and national levels. We have participated in UNESCO meetings on OER to exchange knowledge and practical experiences of developing OER in Vietnam. We worked closely with Wawasan University in Malaysia to promote the development of OER Asia. VNF representatives have contributed experiences and guidelines related to OER application and development in several in-country seminars and conferences. |
| Form 990-EZ Part III Line 29 Program 2, line 29 Institutional Linkage Program In 2012 and 2013, we continued to maintain and strengthen ties between US universities and Vietnamese institutions. We provided assistance to a significant number of faculty from U.S. universities including Rice University, Stanford University, the University of California in Irvine, the University of California in San Diego, the University of Iowa to establish contacts and exchanges with suitable educational entities in Vietnam. From these efforts, U.S. schools were able to establish programs in Vietnam. As a case in point, the University of California in Irvine now has a regular program to bring qualified Vietnamese students into their undergraduate schools. |
| Form 990-EZ Part III Line 30 Program 3, line 30 We also provided assistance to handicapped students in local universities, helped Vietnamese non-profit groups organize their operations, supported developing a website of online books and materials for the blind http//sachnoionline.com/, and provided gifts to primary schools and orphanages. The annual scholarship program for the blind students named Sunflower Scholarship program has brought positive effects for the last 4 years. Up to now, 300 students have been granted scholarships by VNF. The number of scholarships have steadily increased through the years. Many students have graduated and continued Master program. During the year 2012-2013, we granted 75 scholarships each costs USD 240 and 16 laptops each costs 336 USD to outstanding blind college students. Understanding the difficulties of pupils in Yen Bai province, VNF contributed USD 4,798 to help build a primary school and grant scholarships to pupils. We also donated USD 958 to help the lepers in Buon Me Thuot province. |
| Form 990-EZ Part III Line 31 Program 4, line 31 Educational Advisory Program In 2012 and 2013, we assisted numerous Vietnamese students in large and small groups in their efforts to understand the U.S. educational system and search for a suitable school.
