As part of Olive Tree Estate’s drive for positive Environmental and Social Impact, OTE is once again pleased to announce that, together with our strategic local partner – Alpha Plus Property Management (“APPM”), we have launched another Alpha Family Centre (“AFC”) at City Tower, an affordable housing estate developed by National Housing Organization JSC (“NHO”). This family centre will serve the 527 households in the City Tower estate located in Tuan An, Binh Duong, Vietnam.
The Grand Opening was held on 31 Dec 2021, a date decided by the residents themselves. This centre complements our pilot Family Centre at Imperial Place (An Lac), a social housing estate which was also developed by NHO. OTE will work together with our eco-system of partners, walking alongside and continually improving our tailor-made offerings to value-add to each community in service and growth with these various communities.
OTE continues to utilize the strengths-focused Asset Based Community Development (“ABCD”) philosophy in our collaboration efforts with people in the community. OTE and APPM are excited to uncover and embrace the various skills embedded within the community.
Encouragingly heart-warming stories unfold as we write. During the festivities of the opening of the centre, one of the residents who happened to win a lucky draw prize felt the connections built that day. Upon hearing that we were looking at opportunities for residents to share their skills and abilities, she stepped forward to volunteer to conduct community yoga classes. As strong believers in the ABCD model, it is ground-up initiatives such as these and more that we celebrate.
We hope that through the upcoming collaboration with the residents, OTE and APPM will be able to facilitate the residents’ own building of a vibrant caring community together and extend AFC’s social impact beyond just the physical aspects of the estate.
