Ban Mao Kindergarten is inaugurated in Son La Province on September 23.
The project, launched on May 21, includes two classrooms, a restroom and a teachers’ housing unit, built at a total cost of VND 544 million (approximately USD 21,300). All expenses were covered through contributions from Dtinews' readers.
Speaking at the ceremony, Editor-in-Chief Pham Tuan Anh said the 2024 Storm Yagi caused severe damage in northern mountainous areas, prompting Dtinews to work with Son La Police to find ways to help local communities rebuild.

He hoped the new school would inspire children to persevere in their studies and give teachers greater peace of mind in their work.
Colonel Bui Tuan Anh of Son La Police thanked Dtinews for years of mobilising charitable contributions to support disadvantaged communities and students.
