VTV.vn - More than 7,000 primary and secondary school students in HCM City are expected to benefit from better access to English and Vietnamese books, online and multimedia facilities, and other library resources by 2020.

This is the second phase of the Words on Wheels mobile digital library programme.

The programme is organised by the Singapore International Foundation and the General Sciences Library and funded by Keppel Land Limited. Five schools will be selected to receive support to upgrade their library or computer lab. An estimated 120 Singapore international volunteers will travel to HCM City over the next three years to conduct English language and IT literacy workshops.
