To date, more than 60 charity houses and new schools have been built; more than 1,000 bicycles have been donated to disadvantaged students; and nearly 13,000 working days have been contributed by American students across the province. These numbers are not simply statistics, but behind them is the sincerity that American students have given to the people of Quảng Ngãi province.
