KOTO ONE Gala Thanks

We are so thrilled to have your support again this year!
The annual KOTO fundraiser, this year called KOTO ONE, was hosted by celebrity chef and KOTO Goodwill Ambassador Jack Lee and held at The Reverie Saigon Hotel. Thanks to you we very nearly sold out and grossed VND2.1 billion. All proceeds will fund the KOTO Training Centre in Dong Nai (our Dream School in the south and a sister complex to the new training centre in the north). KOTO is an award-winning nonprofit hospitality training program for at-risk and disadvantaged youth in Vietnam.
Together as one we build a community
