The scholarships worth VND400,000 each will help students, who were affected by the flood in central provinces.
Nam Tra My is one of the poorest mountain districts in Vietnam with poor infrastructure and harsh weather. Both students and teachers in the locality have very difficult lives and often face floods and rock slides.
Nguyen Van Nam, principle of Tra Nam boarding elementary school, who has lived 20 years in the locality, said, “100 percent of the students here are ethnic minority people. Despite difficult lives, they try their best to go to school. The elementary students have to do their own cooking and clothes washing.”
Previously, STF also donated 200 scholarships worth VND100 million to students in Tuy Phuoc District in Binh Dinh Province - also a poor area accustomed to bad flooding. “The scholarships worth VND500,000 each are the biggest gift that the students have ever had. We would like to give our sincere thanks to enterprises and individuals who have shown care for our students here,” said Dang Thi Anh Tuyet, principle of Phuoc Thang 1 School in the locality.
