The Vietnamese Supplementary School in Deptford, run by a Vietnamese women’s union and families living in London, has been open every Saturday for 8 years for kids and their parents. According to teacher Nguyen Quynh, the school at first just taught Vietnamese, but has added other subjects such as martial arts, painting, and cooking, to help students understand their original culture.
