Re: Grant Recommendation
Kien Pham
<kienpham@vnfoundation.org>This is so awesome. You drank the Kool-Aid! :-)
One penny per month or 12 cents per year for each child on the Khan Academy Vietnam platform, and yes, your 12k donation this year enables 100k students to learn on the platform. Average primary school has 1,000 kids so your $12k donation will help 100 public primary schools in Vietnam! As the architect of the Khan Academy Vietnam enterprise, I am still at awe by how efficent the enterprise has become. Just like an incredible dream.
I am profoundly grateful for having you and Kirsten as companions on this impactful journey. You can boast about the fact that you made a donation that literally helps 100,000 kids in Vietnam learn the best world-class educational materials coming from Silicon Valley.
Just love it, kp
