This global project was born out of the concern of many people because child sexual abuse is still taking place every day.

Global Project: Five Safe Fingers

Phường 22, Vietnam

The project's based on passion, the interest of the educators (over 100 teachers from 30 countries) should be completely free to the chief facilitator for students to participate. The project has its own website where teachers can contact ambassadors and find materials for student skills counseling. Experts (ambassadors) can easily connect to classes anywhere without moving (via Skype).

Introduction

What is Global Project: Five Safe Fingers?

“Children have the rights to be protected and to acquire knowledge on how to protect themselves. Humans are made of happiness and tears. Don't let tears fade away humanity!.”

Nam Ngo Thanh - Project Founder

Many people have witnessed the severe physical and mental consequences of their abuse. The law also deals with these charges. However, instead of expecting the law to process, I think the school and the family should promote the education of sexual abuse prevention for children as work ahead and more important. Based on the wishes and concerns, I launched the project and found the sympathy and registration of more than 100 teachers from 30 schools in Vietnam and the world. With the expectation that the project will continue to spread and more students will benefit from this project, I proceed to build a website for many teachers can participate.

Average time for teachers to organize students to complete the project is 5 weeks, corresponding to the different requirements are given each week. Students acquire knowledge, develop skills, know the limits of love through product realization, product reporting, and share with others in other schools through Skype.

This is a non-profit project conducted by interested teachers in Vietnam and some countries in the world. The project is based on the cooperation of teachers around the globe as ambassadors. Teachers will have two types of participation in the project (or participate in both roles):

+ Be a pioneer (project ambassador) in teaching skills to students (either directly or via Skype).

+ Organize for students of their classes and schools to participate in the implementation of the project.

Object:

- Teachers participating in the project (ambassadors) share personal insights with colleagues, sharing resources for the community: slides, video, ...

- Students understand and have knowledge of sexual abuse, from which skills are avoided

- Develop 21st century skills: cooperation, thinking, using techonology, global citizen

- Develop language skills for students: presentation skills, skills in using English
