Behind each child is a story of an unfortunate life, lacking love and development opportunities. The fact that Dien Bien Provincial Police extended their arms to welcome the children is not only a material help, but also an act of sowing seeds of faith and lighting up hope for a bright future.
Mr. Vu A Bang - Vice Chairman of Dien Bien Provincial People's Committee said that this is a profound humanitarian program, vividly demonstrating the special relationship between Vietnam and Laos, and is a testament to the spirit of "serving the people" of the Public Security force.
"The two programs to support student development in the Northern Lao provinces and the Dien Bien Police's adopted children, although different in subjects, are united in goals. That is to nurture talents, nurture preschools, and at the same time contribute to maintaining border security... Mr. Bang emphasized.
In particular, the sponsorship of education for children from grade 6 to the completion of the College and University program clearly demonstrates a long-term commitment, not temporary support but sustainable investment for the future.
Colonel Bun Pheng Lo Ni Chan - Deputy Director of U Dom Xay Provincial Police - expressed his confidence: "We would like to send the 12 children to Dien Bien Provincial Police, I hope you will pay attention to and teach them like your children in the house, so that they become knowledgeable people, contributing to building their homeland".
According to Colonel Vu Van Dau - Director of Dien Bien Provincial Police, the entire budget of the program comes from the joint contributions of police officers and soldiers and socialized sources. The Provincial Police also pledged to coordinate comprehensively to manage, nurture and educate the children in the best way, striving for 100% of them to complete the training program.
