"Thanks to support from our readers and local authorities, we've been able to help many people facing difficulties nationwide," he said. "We're happy to see children from difficult families and areas can continue their studies and hope for a better future."
Attending the ceremony, head of Krong Pak District Department of Education and Training, Huynh Hong said sent his sincere thanks to Dantri/Dtinews Newspaper and kind donors for their support to build the school.
"This was a meaningful project to us," he said. "We are mostly from ethnic minority groups and our lives are still very difficult. The district's budget is limited. With the donation of VND650 million (USD 28,260) from Dantri readers, our children now have a new beautiful school. Thank you so much."
At the ceremony, Dantri Newspaper presented desks, boards, and books for the school.
Teacher Ton Nu Thu Nga said that over 400 students of the school are mostly from the Tay, Nung, Mong, Cao Lan, and E De ethnic groups. The school is located in the district centre but parents can’t take their children there due to the distance and difficult mountain roads. As an alternative, they decided to use meeting rooms in local villages and organised nine classes in localities.
