Dantri/DTiNews has opened new classrooms for disadvantaged children in the mountainous area of Cao Bang Province.


The opening ceremony was held on late President Ho Chi Minh's birthday on May 19.

  

The deteriorated classroom


The classrooms at Na Kieng Nursery School and Na Kieng Primary School in Quang Lam Commune severely deteriorated. The teachers had to use wood planks and nylon sheets to temporarily cover the rooms from rains and winds. The staff rooms were too small for all the teachers and were in a similarly bad condition.

Pham Tuan Anh, deputy editor-in-chief of Dantri, said he felt very happy when the community, especially Hoang Tuan Beauty Salon, had helped to build better classrooms for the children.

According to Anh, this is the second most expensive project, behind the VND1.6bn (USD64,000) classroom project in Song Ma District, Son La Province. This is also the third project that has mostly been funded by an individual or firms and the 16th Dantri classroom project. Four more classroom projects for disadvantaged children are being carried out.

71-year-old Le Hai Trieu, the representative of Hoang Tuan Beauty Salon, said, "This project is our tribute to the teachers in remote areas. I appreciate the quality of construction and thank Dantri for connecting donors with those who in need."

Hoang Tuan Beauty Salon further gave VND6m (USD240) to the schools. X'Home Company donated 10 bunk beds and Lac Hong JSC gave three computers, a printer and 20 scholarships worth VND500,000 each to the children. The Office of the National Assembly Delegation in Cao Bang Province gave a pair of loudspeakers to the schools.
