Dreamers

As part of a multimedia package for the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, listen to a brief audio piece about Aquila Dream Academy. This is part of a bigger project, Divine Intervention, on addiction treatment and Aquila Drug Rehab Center in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Aquila Dream Academy is a K-12 school on the grounds of Aquila Rehab Center. It serves children of the staff and participants, as well as students from surrounding towns. Using an English-language Christian homeschool curriculum, the teachers provide individualized attention and support to students of all ages. Students Samuel and Leo share what their lives are like at the Dream Academy, while Minh recounts the events that brought him to such an unusual school.
