Tam Quang 2 Primary School has 130 students from 5 ethnic groups studying in 5 grade levels. Located in a border commune between Vietnam and Laos, the school faces many difficulties in teaching and learning, and teachers have to constantly encourage students to attend school.
On this occasion, the delegation presented 130 gift packages to students, each package including a warm jacket, a pair of boots, an umbrella, a box of instant noodles, and other essential items. The total value of the gifts was over 30 million VND.
