Implemented for many years, the programs "Helping children go to school", "Supporting children to go to school", and the model "Adopted children of Border Guard Station" have continued the nation's tradition of humanity, spreading love to students in difficult circumstances, especially in mountainous, border and coastal areas.

Through this, many students have been helped, shared, encouraged, and motivated in a timely manner, and have had the opportunity to rise up in life; study, practice, and nurture their dreams. Like La Thi Nga, a Dan Lai ethnic group - one of the students adopted by Mon Son Border Guard Station since grade 5. Currently, she has graduated from Vinh University and is doing research in Israel.
