A businessman coming from southern Vietnam will spend almost US$2 million from his own pocket on a project to build a dormitory and let poor students stay there free of charge.
On April 17, representatives of the Co May company in Dong Thap Province and the Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry attended a ceremony to sign an agreement on constructing Co May Dormitory for poor students on the school’s campus.
Pham Van Ben, the 66-year-old owner of Co May, had stunned his family when revealing his project of building such a dormitory.
