On the afternoon of November 26, the Golden Heart Social Charity Fund in coordination with the Trade Union and the Youth Union of Khanh Viet Corporation presented 30,000 notebooks to students at schools heavily affected by the recent flood.
Accompanying the working group were the Provincial Police Youth Union and the Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee Youth Union.
The delegation presented 6,000 notebooks to Vinh Phuong 1 Primary School; 5,000 notebooks to Luong The Vinh Secondary School; 12,000 notebooks to students in schools in Ninh Hoa area; 7,000 notebooks to students in schools in Suoi Dau commune.
Mr. Duong Minh Hiep - Principal of Vinh Phuong 1 Primary School said that during the recent flood, nearly 400 students of the school were directly affected, many families were deeply submerged in water.
The school's facilities were severely damaged, especially the classrooms on the ground floor. The entire TV system for teaching was soaked with water and completely broken.
Currently, cadres, teachers and police and military forces are making efforts to clean up to put the school back into operation.
The school welcomed students back from November 26, but could not organize normal teaching because many students did not have enough books and school supplies. The kitchen area is not yet safe, so the organization of boarding is also temporarily suspended.
At Luong The Vinh Secondary School, the situation was even more difficult when 97% of students had their homes deeply flooded, even partially collapsed.
All books and school clothes were washed away or damaged. The school was flooded up to 2.2m, making it impossible for all TVs in the classrooms to be used.
Principal Bui Ha Nam said: On the morning of November 26, the school organized a reception for students to grasp the situation after the storm. Up to now, many students still wear daily clothes to class. Some children even have to wear temporary clothes of relatives because all their belongings are covered in mud.
According to Mr. Nam, 5,000 notebooks from the Golden Heart Social Charity Fund and Khanh Viet Corporation are a very timely source of support.
Each student needs at least 10 notebooks for 14 subjects. On the morning of November 27, the school will immediately distribute to the children to quickly stabilize teaching and learning after the flood" - Mr. Nam said.
During this flood, 15 teachers and staff of the school also had their houses flooded. The Golden Heart Social Charity Fund has supported each case with a box of cough medicine.
The program to give books to students in flooded areas of Khanh Hoa is expected to give a total of 70,000 books as soon as possible to support students to quickly return to school.
