Team XV was comprised of 8 members--6 veterans, the wife of a vet, and the daughter of a vet. There were 3 building projects. The first project funded by the VVRP was a 3-room kindergarten in Do Luong, Nghe An province. The team assisted in leveling the floors and preparing a playground for concrete.

A 3-room vocational training building was funded for Lac Son village, also in Do Luong, and footings for the building were dug by the team. This is part of a larger Social Care Centre for children and adults--many with handicaps.

The last project was at a Social Care Centre in Quang Tri. The VVRP funded the rehabilitation and purchase of new equipment for a computer training lab. The team especially enjoyed time spent with the kids.
