Enlisted and then posted to the border post last September, Kiep was entrusted with teaching a class of compassion co-organized by the border post and Hung Dien A Primary School. This class is for 12 needy local children who cannot afford to go to public school.

So far, 5 out of 12 students had passed the first-grade exams and were admitted to the second grade in a public school.

In the 2014-2015 school year, the remaining students are expected to pass the first grade exam and ready for the second grade of a public school in the next academic year.
