He added that the newspaper had so far carried out 26 bridge projects and 44 other construction projects at schools nationwide. And Nghe An was one of the largest beneficiaries of Dantri-supported projects.

"Binh Chuan is a poor remote mountainous commune lying some 40 kilometres from the centre of Con Cuong District," he said. "We're mostly from the Thai ethnic group who live on farming, with over 30 percent of households living in poverty. We're very happy to receive support from kind donors and Dantri Newspaper with this meaningful project."
Binh Chuan Primary School has three branches with a total of 402 students who live around 10 kilometres from the school. The school will merge two branches in Tong and Que villages now the dormitory is completed.
The dormitory cost VND800 million (USD34,482). The construction was made possible thanks to a VND150 million donation by Nghe An Province Vietnam Buddhist Sangha, VND 100 million from a young woman who received VND1 billion from Dantri readers to cover her hospital fees in Hanoi, and VND100 million from a young man who also received VND 1 billion from Dantri readers after his poor condition was shared by the newspaper.
