The second arrival of donated essential items was delivered to 62 students at Dong Son School on January 25.

Representatives from Dan Tri/DTiNews and donors returned to the school in Tan Son District, Phu Tho Province and brought much-needed notebooks, pens, clothing and food such as noodles, and dried fish. The items could not be more important for the poor pupils.

Students at the school have been suffering from hunger and malnutrition for over a month and after Dan Tri/DTiNews broke the story yesterday, many donations came flooding in.
