"Today is Vietnamese Teachers' Day so I'm really moved to be able to stand here to pay tribute to the teachers," said Pham Tuan Anh, deputy editor-in-chief of Dantri.

Dantri Newspaper has built 33 classroom projects in Vietnam and this is the third project in Lai Chau Province where teachers and pupils alike have to face various difficulties. In 2015, Dantri Newspaper built three classrooms in Tan Uyen District and another project in Sin Ho District.

Many other projects are being built in Phu Tho, Nghe An, Dak Nong and An Gang provinces. 17 bridge projects have been completed across Vietnam.

Anh also thanked the sponsor, An Binh Bank, leaders of Nam Nhun District People's Committee, the district's Department of Education and Training and the local authorities for creating favourable conditions for them to complete the project.
