Warm volunteer activities of Phan school students
(Baonghean.vn) - Every time Tet comes, students of Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted are excited about charity activities for children in difficult circumstances and the less fortunate in life.
BOOKS THAT GIVE SMILES
Phan Bookaholic Club is one of the pioneer clubs of Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted in organizing charity activities on the occasion of the Year of the Tiger. The project "Books for Smiles" of Phan Bookaholic Club was nurtured two years ago, with the aim of bringing the most practical values to the community and society through books. In June 2021, the project donated more than 50 sets of primary school textbooks and school supplies to children at Yen Hoa II Primary School in Tuong Duong district with a total value of up to 27 million VND.
This year, the project resumed operations after long months of social isolation due to the pandemic. This year's destination is the General Radiology Department - Nghe An Oncology Hospital.
In this series of volunteer activities, the project has built a loving bookshelf at the Department with more than 130 books of various genres, with content that focuses on positive and optimistic things in life. The club hopes that the bookshelf will not only be a place for patients to relax and entertain, but also a great source of motivation for them to be confident, strong and optimistic in fighting the disease.

Along with the bookcase construction activity, before the New Year, this morning, January 23, 2022, the club's charity project "Books for Smiles" also gave cancer patients more than 90 gifts with a total value of up to 20 million VND. This is the amount of money supported by benefactors in Vinh city such as BIDV Bank, Nghe An branch, Nghe An Department of Culture & Sports, CTGT Project Management Board of Nghe An Department of Transport,... Although the gift is not large, it is full of the love and affection of students and benefactors, with the wish to bring a warm and full Tet to the patients.

Mr. Tran Minh Thanh - Deputy Director of SOS Children's Village Vinh affirmed that although this year's program encountered many difficulties due to the epidemic, the volunteers always tried to coordinate with the village, complying with regulations on Covid prevention and control to organize many meaningful activities. The first days of Spring of the new year for the children in the village were therefore always filled with happiness and love.
Not only always striving to be worthy of the tradition of a top school in teaching and learning in Nghe An, Phan students today are increasingly affirming their dynamism, creativity and lighting more and more fires of love, sowing more and more seeds of goodness for an increasingly beautiful life./.
