The three new classrooms

The works which have a total investment of VND750 million (USD34,000) are located in Dong Mang Village, Trung Son Commune, Yen Lap District.

The inauguration ceremony which was held on October 4 saw the participation of Dantri/DTiNews Deputy Editor-in-chief Pham Tuan Anh; vice chairman of Yen Lap District People’s Committee, Vu Dinh Thu;  director of Tran Thanh Company, the donor of the project, Dang Tran Thanh, and representatives from local agencies.

The old classrooms in Dong Mang had deteriorated so much that they could receive 50 out of the total number of 80 nursery and primary children. Even the kitchen was turned into a classroom for three-year-old children. 

The classrooms were built around two decades ago, so they often experienced leaks when it was rainy.

The road to the classrooms was rough. When there is heavy rain, floods often happen on the stream along the road, stopping children from going to class.  

Children happy with new classrooms

Through the donation of Tran Thanh Company, Dantri/DTiNews Newspaper has helped to build a new bridge across the stream and new classrooms for local children.

Dantri/DTiNews Deputy Editor-in-chief Pham Tuan Anh said that this is the first time the newspaper had built both a bridge and classrooms at the same time. 

The new bridge

The newspaper has built 23 classrooms and 16 bridges in remote and disadvantaged areas across the country. 

Ha Duc Dung, head of Yen Lap District’s Department of Education and Training, expressed his deep thanks to the newspaper and the donor. 

On this occasion, Dantri/DTiNews Deputy Editor-in-chief Pham Tuan Anh granted 10 scholarships worth VND500,000 (USD22.72) each for the children in Dong Mang.
