On August 2, a working group of the Nghe An Department of Education and Training led by Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa - Deputy Director of the Department - visited and presented support gifts to schools severely affected by floods in Tam Hop and Tuong Duong communes.
In Tam Hop commune (Tuong Duong district), the team inspected the damage at Tam Thai Kindergarten, Tam Thai Primary School and Tam Hop Kindergarten - schools that were deeply flooded when Ban Ve and Khe Bo hydroelectric reservoirs released floodwaters, causing flooding of the entire ground floor, sweeping away and damaging a series of teaching equipment, documents and boarding facilities.
The principal of Tam Thai Kindergarten - Ms. Luong Thi Tham - said: "All of the school's assets in Lung and Cay Me villages were swept away or severely damaged by floodwaters. When the water receded, teachers had to pick up tables, chairs, and doors drifted in the mud. But collecting is not enough for half. The damage is huge".
At Xa Luong Secondary School, floodwaters from the Nam Non River rose, causing flooding for the entire block of level 4 houses. Nearly 10 classrooms had their equipment destroyed, and tables and chairs were broken due to prolonged soaking in water. The student's boarding area was also flooded with mud, and all household items were completely damaged.
Meanwhile, at Luu Kien Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities - where there are nearly 200 boarding students - all books and school supplies were also swept away when the school was located at an intersection where the river and stream water flooded.
The working group of Nghe An Department of Education and Training presented support to 15 affected schools in two communes. Of which, 3 schools were severely damaged, including Luu Kien Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities, Luu Kien Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities and Xa Luong Secondary School for which 50 million VND/school was supported. The remaining schools each received 25 million VND. The total amount of direct support in this period is more than 550 million VND.
In addition, the delegation also sent gifts to 45 preschool teachers in Tam Hop, Tuong Duong, Nhon Mai, Mai Son communes... affected by floods. For teachers at the primary and secondary levels, the Department is continuing to count to have a support plan in the coming time.
Deputy Director of Nghe An Department of Education and Training Nguyen Van Khoa shared: We acknowledge the efforts of teachers to overcome difficulties and will continue to accompany and mobilize all resources to help schools soon overcome the consequences and stabilize teaching conditions before the new school year 2025 - 2026.
Accompanying the education sector, Foreign Language Centers in Nghe An province also donated more than 400 million VND in cash and in kind including books, blankets, and clothes to support teachers and students in flooded areas.
In recent days, floods and landslides in the North Central and Northern mountainous provinces have killed and left many people missing, houses, schools and maple blossoms were swept away and submerged in mud, affecting local production activities.
"A piece of food when hungry is worth a package when full", with the spirit of mutual love that has always been a beautiful image of the Vietnamese people, the Golden Heart Social Charity Fund calls on domestic and foreign philanthropists to join hands to share with people affected by floods.... to soon stabilize their lives.
