OPENED LETTER
Dear Sir/Madam,
The NT Foundation was created in 1989 in Hanoi on the initiative of DR. NGUYEN KHAC VIEN, pediatrist and father of child psychology and child psychiatry in Vietnam.
At its inception, no care structure for children with psychological troubles existed in our country.
Since 1989, the N-T Foundation has put in place:
•- A network of mental health
•- Psychological consultations
•- Training for qualified personnel
It also wrote and translated books in the fields of education and psychology.
Since July 1991, we opened a care-center to provide consultations at the general hospital in Dong Da.
From July 2005, we have expanded the center by renting a house located at 17/663, Truong Dinh Street in Hanoi, and have transferred the care-center of Dong Da; results: in 2006, there have been 2788 consultations for children and teenagers with difficulties, and 199 families have been received, in 2007, 3827 consultations have been conducted, which represents an 40% increase in activity.
Our Foundation is completely independent and does not receive any subsidy from the government.
Since its creation, donations from foreign social organizations have sustained our institution.
Due to the many struggling families asking for full-term daily care for their young children with severe mental disabilities, it is necessary for us to build a new care-center to accommodate fabout 40 autistic children and manage the most urgent cases in 2008. Structures of this type do not yet exist in Hanoi today.
To carry out this project, we need, an annual support for renting a location and paying the different expenses. Please, help us to realize our mission according to your financial possibility (many hands tap strongly) for 3 year: 2009, 2010 and 1011. After this date, we think that we will have the financial autonomy.
We will send you a more detailed dossier to present you if you would read.
We offer our warmest and grateful thanks to donors for Vietnam disabled mentally children. Please help us to continue our mission!
