On November 16, Binh Minh Kindergarten (Cam Le Ward, Da Nang City) completed the program "Connecting hearts, sharing love" in the border commune of Avuong, with a special message: not to organize a ceremony to celebrate Vietnamese Teachers' Day on November 20 to devote all resources to support people affected by floods.
Speaking at the program, Ms. Tran Thi My Le - Party cell secretary, Principal of Binh Minh Kindergarten - said that the school proactively proposed not to celebrate November 20 this year. "We hope to replace the bouquets of gratitude flowers with practical sharing with people facing difficulties after natural disasters," said Ms. Le.
From the mobilization of teachers, parents and benefactors, the school has raised more than 90 million VND to support people in A Tep village ( Avong commune) to repair their houses, purchase necessary equipment and necessities. This is not only material support, but also the heart of educators to the people in the highlands, Ms. Le added.
The program has brought warmth to many households, while spreading the spirit of humanity and the beauty of the teaching profession at a time when the Central region suffered many losses due to consecutive floods.
Similarly, Vo Thi Sau Primary School (Hai Chau Ward) also issued an open letter to parents, partners and units expressing gratitude, requesting not to give flowers or gifts on the occasion of November 20. The Board of Directors expressed their hope that parents would turn their gratitude into practical gifts to teachers and students in areas heavily damaged by storms and floods, through official receiving channels.
In the letter, the group of teachers emphasized: "Gifts for flood-affected areas are the most beautiful gratitude flowers, continuing to bloom in the flower garden of education". The school believes that this is the profound humanitarian meaning of November 20 this year, when many schools in the Central region still lack books and learning tools and are making efforts to overcome the consequences of natural disasters.
The fact that schools proactively cut down on commemorative activities to share difficulties with people shows the spirit of social responsibility of the teaching staff, contributing to spreading humanity in the community.
