Yen Bai has just experienced a historic flood with heavy destruction, causing 54 deaths and missing; 25,263 houses of people were damaged; 28 schools were flooded, 37 schools had landslides...
Immediately after the storm passed, with the joint efforts of the entire political system, on September 16, schools in Yen Bai province welcomed students back.
Promoting the tradition of solidarity, "mutual love and support", sharing difficulties and losses with people in flood-hit areas, Khanh Viet Corporation (headquartered in Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa) through the Golden Heart Charity Social Fund presented 60,000 notebooks to students of schools in Yen Bai City and the two districts of Van Yen and Luc Yen.
Notably, Khatoco's warm feelings are also expressed in a very unique way when the cover of each notebook given is specially designed with the words: Towards the beloved North.
On the morning of October 3, at Van Phu Primary and Secondary School in Van Phu Commune, Yen Bai City, representatives of the Golden Heart Social Charity Fund, Yen Bai Provincial Labor Federation and Khanh Viet Corporation (Khatoco) presented 20,000 notebooks to students.
According to Vice Principal of Van Phu Primary and Secondary School Nguyen Thi Nhu Ly, although the school is located in the city, it is located in a suburban commune with many students in difficult circumstances. The recent storm has significantly affected their studies.
"On behalf of the school and all parents of Van Phu Primary and Secondary School, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Golden Heart Fund, Yen Bai Provincial Labor Federation and Khanh Viet Corporation (Khatoco).
In the context of the school still facing many difficulties, the contribution of the delegation is not only a material sharing but also a great source of spiritual encouragement for students as well as teachers," Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhu Ly expressed.
Also on the same day, the delegation presented 20,000 books at Trung Tam Primary and Secondary School.
This is a school located in Trung Tam commune, Luc Yen district, Yen Bai province, with extremely difficult facilities and roads.
The school has 860 students. During the recent storm and flood, not only the school but also the students' families were severely affected.
According to Principal of Centre Primary and Secondary School Truong Quoc Chien, as a school located in an area with many difficulties, facilities and learning materials are always things that the school has to worry about.
"Most of the students' families are poor, and their access to books is very limited. Many students still have to study in poverty, making it difficult for them to acquire knowledge. In that context, the gift of 20,000 notebooks that the delegation presented is truly a great source of encouragement, not only for the students but also for the school and the teaching staff," Principal Truong Quoc Chien shared.
On behalf of the delegation, Mr. Nguyen Duy Tai - Chief Representative of Hanoi area, Khanh Viet Corporation (Khatoco) said that he was honored to be here to present the gift of 20,000 notebooks to the students.
"We understand that, in difficult learning conditions, the lack of basic supplies such as notebooks is a big challenge for students. These notebooks are not only simple learning tools, but also a means for students to record knowledge, develop thinking skills, and get closer to their dreams.
With this small gift, we hope to be able to partly share the difficulties and bring the children more motivation to study. We believe that, with constant efforts and support from teachers, the children will overcome all obstacles and achieve many successes in their studies," said Mr. Nguyen Duy Tai.
During the day, the delegation was present in Van Yen district to present 20,000 notebooks to the district Labor Federation.
