In September, the first month of the 2024-2025 school year, instead of the excitement and enthusiasm of the school year like every year, all over the country, natural disasters and floods caused great damage to infrastructure. In the North, many roofs collapsed, many schools were deeply flooded and damaged, and many children could not go to school. In particular, this made the Mid-Autumn Festival this year even more difficult for children in the North to enjoy.
News of storms, floods, and landslides is everywhere. Sharing the difficulties of children across the country, teachers, parents, and students at iSMART have joined hands to help children in difficult circumstances. Many activities and practical programs have been called for to help ease the pain and give children more motivation to overcome difficulties and continue to nurture their dream of going to school.
Throughout the development journey, not only equipping students with knowledge, iSMART also focuses on comprehensive development, cultivating compassion and a sense of responsibility to society, hoping to create a young generation that is both talented and kind-hearted, ready to build a sustainable future.
Journey to bring gifts from the heart to the regions
iSMART's journey of giving love started on September 13, 2024 in Ea Kar District, Dak Lak Province. iSMART teachers and students also gave more than 1,000 gifts including books and essential school supplies to the children here in the program "Mid-Autumn Festival for Children". In particular, iSMART Dak Lak also gave health insurance cards to the students here, demonstrating iSMART's deep concern for community health.
In addition to the gifts, iSMART and the benefactors also brought a meaningful Mid-Autumn Festival through loving lanterns and special performances at Le Dinh Chinh Primary School and Huong Duong Kindergarten. This event is not only an opportunity for children to have fun but also an opportunity for them to feel the love and care of the community.
Next, iSMART had the opportunity to visit and give gifts to hundreds of students at schools including Le Quy Don Primary School, Chu Van An Primary School, Le Van Tam Primary School, Bui Thi Xuan Primary School, Nguyen Binh Khiem Primary School, Kim Hong Secondary School in Dong Thap Province. Practical gifts such as backpacks, notebooks, etc. were sent by iSMART to students in difficult circumstances. In addition, iSMART also coordinated with the school to bring many fun activities and display paintings to help students have a more complete and meaningful Mid-Autumn Festival.
iSMART will continue to "extend" the journey of love to disadvantaged students in Hanoi, including students in the mountainous area of Mu Cang Chai (Yen Bai). In addition to practical gifts for the new school year such as backpacks, school supplies,... iSMART will hand over bicycles to students in special circumstances as a practical gift, lighting up hope and adding motivation for them to overcome difficulties and confidently go to school.
"One Painting, One Heart" - A Place to Nurture "Champions"
"A drawing, A heart" is a meaningful project launched by iSMART, with the message "Draw the gift you want to give to disadvantaged students in the Mid-Autumn Festival 2024". The project is carried out in parallel with two main activities: the minigame of drawing and giving Mid-Autumn gifts, in which more than 1,000 paintings with meaningful wishes were sent to iSMART by students across the country.
Through "A drawing, A heart", iSMART not only has the opportunity to give practical gifts to difficult circumstances but also sows the seeds of love, empathy and responsibility - qualities that iSMART always aims for in each student. Principal of Le Dinh Chinh Primary School (Cu Prong Commune, Ea Kar District, Dak Lak Province), Ms. Mai Thi Loan, shared: "Students at the school still have many difficulties in learning equipment and health check-up needs. We are very happy to receive attention from leaders at all levels, iSMART and benefactors". She also expressed hope for similar activities in the future, helping more students in difficult circumstances.
"One Drawing, One Heart" has come to an end, leaving a positive impression in the community. Through these meaningful activities, iSMART not only brings joy to disadvantaged children but also contributes to nurturing the spirit of "Champion" - talented and compassionate people in each student. These small but loving activities are proof of iSMART's commitment to social responsibility in continuing to bring meaningful gifts to disadvantaged children, contributing to bringing them a bright future.
