Block B Project Partners, NFVC Provide Scholarships and Upgrade Schools
The Block B Gas-to-Power Project Partners, on August 12, awarded scholarship certificates to 100 schoolchildren from the Mekong Delta, in a ceremony celebrating a programme developed with the National Fund for Vietnamese Children (NFVC).
The partners’ commitment of more than VND3.15 billion (US$150,000) in 2014 builds on an existing Block B Gas-to-Power Project education programme that has already provided scholarships to more than 3,800 children in the Mekong Delta since 2009. In addition to awarding a total of 877 scholarships, the 2014 programme will upgrade five schools in the area. The partners have sponsored upgrades to 19 schools over the past four years.
The Block B Gas to Power Project is an offshore development that will supply natural gas to fuel power plants in Ca Mau and Can Tho. The project is comprised of Chevron Vietnam Ltd., PetroVietnam Exploration Production Corporation Ltd (PVEP), Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Ltd. (MOECO), PTTEP Kim Long Vietnam Company Limited (PTTEP KV), and PTTEP Southwest Vietnam Company Limited (PTTEP SV).
