| Research & Dissemination B2L performs research to gather information that can be useful for B2L strategic decision-making and for its partners collaborators Information that advances the B2L mission can be disseminated to the general public using social media vehicles B2L uses the communications from students and schools in Vietnam stories about their progress and other information to help donors and interested parties understand education in its global context |
| Collaborations & Partnerships As one of a relatively small number of organizations supplying resources to poor children in Vietnam B2L has a unique position to become an organization that is also providing strength to the infrastructure of nonprofi t organizations currently in Vietnam as a movement-maker B2L initiates collaborations and partnerships that strengthen our ability to carry out our mission We seek partners who work with models similar to ours supporting the unique needs of each c hild |
| School Asset Management Even though schools like Anh Linh Free School are poor in capital and cash they still have more funds than many places in impoverished communities Keeping the money donated from B2L in their local bank accounts can be a cha llenge It attracts attention and could be confiscated For schools in developing countries it is often safer to retain their funds offshore B2L works with the school to help them with their cash flow and cash management B2L is creating an escrow account to finance programs for the next year and help the school maintain budget and manage the flow of funds |
