“MANG NON” BOOK STATION BRINGS KNOWLEDGE TO CHILDREN IN KIEN LUONG DISTRICT, KIEN GIANG PROVINCE

On April 23rd, 2024, INSEE Vietnam organized the Handover Ceremony of “Mang Non” Book Station at Binh Tri Primary & Secondary School (Kien Luong district, Kien Giang province) with the participation of local authorities, school administrator, and partners. After 2 months of construction, the “Mang Non” Book Station was officially actualized and contributed to bringing vast knowledge to pupils in remote areas.

The “Mang Non” Book Station project is the idea of the INSEE Prize 2022 competition from students at the National University – Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology who have surpassed more than 200 competing topics to achieve the highest award and get supported by INSEE and partners for practical implementation. The group of students directly participated from the initial steps of project implementation from adjusting design, area surveys as well as construction supervision. On April 23rd, 2024, the project was officially handed over to Binh Tri Primary & Secondary School in Kien Luong district, Kien Giang province.

During the ceremony, Mr. Le Thanh Huong – Chairman of Kien Luong District People’s Committee shared a few words: “The “Mang Non” Book Station project has contributed an important part to the goal of developing education in the locality, especially for children inn Binh Tri commune, where there are many ethnic minorities who do not have much access to educational facilities.”

The special feature of “Mang Non” Book Station is that the project does not emit CO2 during operation thanks to the use of construction materials and equipment with low carbon emissions and green certificates such as INSEE cement, Conwood, Nippon paint, Kingspan panels, Reetech energy-saving air conditioners and a REE solar system with a capacity of 20kwh/ day (maximum project capacity is 9kwh/day). “Mang Non” Book station was honored to receive Lotus Green Building certification (Gold level) from the Vietnam Green Building Council. Once this construction operates, the Book station with an area of more than 60 square meters will provide space for more than 600 students and teachers to assess book treasure.

With the humanistic meaning as well as the sustainable value that the “Mang Non” Book Station brings, the construction has received companionship from partners including: Kingspan Company Limited, Nippon Paint (Vietnam) Company Limited, REE Corporation, Reetech, GreenViet Green Building Consultancy and Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC) and Conwood Vietnam.

INSEE will continue to accompany partners through programs and activities which contribute to build the life more worth living.
