For years, teachers and students at the Cha Nga kindergarten outpost have struggled with extreme hardships: a severe shortage of classrooms, no electricity, no mobile phone signal, no internet access, lack of clean water, and extremely poor road access.
After Dantri published an article highlighting these harsh conditions, Giao Hang Tiet Kiem JSC donated VND 400 million (approximately USD 16,000) to support the construction of a new classroom for the students. Numerous readers also joined the effort with additional support.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, journalist Nguyen Xuan Toan, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Dantri, expressed his gratitude to Giao Hang Tiet Kiem and all benefactors who have partnered with the newspaper in building the Cha Nga kindergarten outpost.

“Beyond our role as the official media outlet of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Dantri also serves as a bridge connecting readers with disadvantaged communities across the country,” Toan said.
According to Toan, Dantri has so far helped build 125 houses for the poor, 54 school facilities, and 30 civil bridges nationwide.
The classroom at Cha Nga hamlet is being constructed with a total budget of nearly VND 480 million. Of that, Giao Hang Tiet Kiem contributed VND 400 million as the primary sponsor, with the remainder coming from reader donations.
Han Thi Thuy, Head of Communications at Giao Hang Tiet Kiem JSC, shared, “When we read about the situation at the Cha Nga school in Dantri, we wanted to contribute, even just a small part, to help provide a safe, solid learning environment for the teachers and students.”

Cha Nga hamlet is home to 94 households with more than 450 residents, most of whom belong to the Thai ethnic minority group. Local livelihoods primarily depend on upland farming and fishing on the Nam Non River.
