On September 13, information from the Nghe An Red Cross Society said that it had just coordinated with the Editor-in-Chief of the Information and Development Magazine - One World Magazine, kind-hearted people to organize the program "Connecting with you to go to school" in the border commune of Nhon Mai, Nghe An.
After traveling hundreds of kilometers of winding and bumpy mountain passes, the group arrived at the first stop: Mai Son Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities. The flood caused serious landslides at Huoi To and Huoi Xa schools, with rocks and soil flowing into the classroom.
The delegation presented students and schools with many gifts including nearly 3,000 school supplies such as pens, notebooks, book bags, bleachers, maps, team uniforms, along with boarding items such as blankets, curtains, pillows; household appliances such as solar lights, generators, water tanks, wall fans, 5 million VND in cash... In particular, 3 bicycles were also given to students in difficult circumstances who have to walk long distances to class every day.
The school representative shared: Teachers and students are very touched and would like to express our sincere thanks to the organizations and individuals who have paid attention to and presented extremely practical and meaningful gifts to the school. This is not only material support but also a great source of encouragement, adding determination for them to firmly walk on the path of learning.
Next, the group went to Mai Son Kindergarten and Nhon Mai Kindergarten - places nestled at the foot of the mountain, with difficult learning conditions. Here, the group presented 137 beds, 400 servings of milk cakes and solar energy lamps to the preschool teachers.
The trip is not only for students but also shares some difficulties with the people. The delegation visited 73 households whose houses were collapsed or washed away and were staying at the homes of brothers and sisters. Of these, 23 households have to temporarily stay at the market - where the row of rooms made of hot corrugated iron such as hot, cramped and temporarily, during the day they have to take out the trees, the stream bank temporarily splashes, and sleep at night.
The delegation gave gifts including dried fish and cash to the people, in the spirit of "the healthy leaves cover the torn leaves", encouraging them to soon stabilize their lives after the natural disaster.
The program "Supporting children to school" not only brings material gifts but is also a specific, practical act of solidarity, sharing, and social responsibility. The trucks carrying love have crossed the rugged mountains and forests, reaching students and people in border areas, adding faith and hope.
We hope to spread human values, contributing to helping students in flooded and mountainous areas not to back down on their learning journey, while adding motivation for people to confidently stick to the villages and villages in the border areas of the Fatherland, so that no one has to stay behind said a representative of the Nghe An Provincial Red Cross Society.
