Khang Le
HISTORY OF THE FOUNDATION
My Name is Khang Le. I am a
father, a husband, a son, an uncle. I am a second generation educator. I have my Associate of Arts in English at
Binh Duong Junior Training College in 1977, my University Diploma in English at
University of Pedagogy in 2001. These combined studies are considered
equivalent to the Bachelor of Arts in English, awarded by regionally accredited
colleges and universities in the United States of America. I have been in
education for 7 years in single subject for general education in Vietnam,
working at Thai Hoa High School in Tan Uyen-Vietnam, Tuong Binh Hiep Secondary
School in Tuong Binh Hiep-Vietnam, and Binh Duong Uniersity-Vietnam.
Immigrating to the USA, I have been following with my passion of teaching for Special
Education Department in Huntington Beach City School District as Teacher’s
Assistant since 2007.
I come from a middle class
background family. My father used to be a Science Teacher serving in public
schools for more than 20 years. My mom earned her Associate of Arts in
Accounting. She worked in Binh Duong Hospital for more than 35 years as an
Accountant. My oldest brother is an Electrical Engineer, working in Binh Duong
Electric Company; the other is a driver, working in the same company with my
oldest one.
Teaching in Tuong Binh Hiep
Secondary School, I deeply understood our student backgrounds. There were so
many students who could not afford to go to school for education due to their
financial problems. After leaving for the United States of America in 2004, I
always think of doing something for my students who really need help to be able
to continue their education. There is no resource for help so I decided to run
my foundation by recycling. I save all the money from the recycling program to
help the poor Vietnamese students who wish to achieve their goals in education.
The foundation was established on May 23rd, 2007 with the name” The
Cox & Le Educational Foundation”. A
year after running the foundation, I decided to change the foundation name to
Vyhan Charity under my daughters’ names. I would believe they will
continue carrying my mission after I am gone.
Below are the criteria to
receive the annual scholarship from the foundation:
1. The student must come from a family with financial
needs. The family will be required to show proof of their financial needs on
