Opening in 2014, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights will take you on a journey of inspiration unlike anything you’ve experienced before. From the moment you enter through its massive stone roots, to the time you emerge in its light-filled Tower of Hope, you will be moved by the power of human rights. Canada’s newest national museum rises from the Prairie earth in Winnipeg at The Forks, where the Red and Assiniboine rivers meet on Treaty One land at a doorstep of the historical location of Métis occupation and Louis Riel’s provisional government, the Museum sits on land that has been a meeting place for over six thousand years. The only museum in the world solely devoted to human rights awareness and education, it stands as a beacon for visitors from around the globe. Ramps of glowing alabaster criss-cross galleries designed to challenge, motivate and uplift. Multi-sensory exhibits explore human rights concepts with an international scope, but through a uniquely Canadian lens.

YEF will finance education using profits from YEF operated farms. Profits will be used to fund elementary and high school tuition fees for orphans. Tuition fees directed towards a particular student are dependent upon that student’s participation in the program, and will be paid at the beginning of each semester. Each YEF student will be required to maintain a pre-determined level of academic achievement as outlined by the YEF board of directors. Beyond this, students will be expected throughout their tenure in our program to attend once weekly a YEF designed educational course taught at their attending school teaching career planning, basic business skills and community development. The purpose of the YEF educational course is to allow students to learn the steps needed to achieve their dreams following their completion of high school, while ingraining the importance of contributing to the development of their own community in their adult years.

The Vietnam Education Society was established in 2005 to raise funds to cover the cost of construction for new preschools and primary schools in rural Vietnam. Local authorities manage and operate the facilities, which are inspected by VES and our partner, East Meets West, on a regular basis. VES opened its first school in Vietnam in June 2007, a ten room school that serves close to 400 students in the small community of Cat Ne, Thai Nguyen Province, Vietnam. A multipurpose room and early childhood development centre were added to the school. Since that time, VES has built three other schools and is currently (Spring 2013) working on plans for the fifth facility. VES also works with the Pacific Links Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping stop human trafficking along the border regions in Vietnam. VES provides 40 scholarships for at risk girls and sponsors a summer camp to provide these girls with support and life skills
