n 27 March 2021, BIDV handed over VND500 million (USD22,000) to Primary School No. 1 at Dak Doa town, Dak Doa district, Gia Lai province in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. This amount of money will help the school build a library and purchase additional facilities to spread reading culture and improve the quality of teaching and learning at the school. In order to encourage a love of reading, spread the reading culture, and create good habits for students in sharing knowledge and information, BIDV Communication and Branding Department collaborated with BIDV Runners team launched a book project
to give books to the library of the Primary School No. 1 with more than 700 books given. Established 30 years ago, the library of Primary School No.1 has been severely degraded. It was quite small with unqualified tables and chairs which did not meet the demand for studying, reading, and researching of teachers and students. The support from BIDV has brought joy and excitement to the teachers and students of the school. BIDV also sponsored the planting of 20 new trees in the school yard of Primary School No.1. Those were the first trees of the "1 million trees" project initiated by BIDV's Leadership, which will make an important contribution to the
