Join hands to continue writing dreams for poor student

(Baonghean.vn) - Although her family's circumstances were very difficult, mother and child relied on each other to earn a living, Ho Thi Tham in hamlet 8, Quynh Tam commune, Quynh Luu district still rose to become an excellent student.

Coming to Tham’s house during the rainy season in August, we understood the hardships of the mother and daughter. The dilapidated, seriously degraded house was only about 8 square meters wide, and there was nothing valuable in the house except a wicker bed and an old wooden chest. During the rainy season, the house leaked everywhere, making it uncomfortably damp, and at this time the mother and daughter encouraged each other to overcome the situation.

Tham and her mother's house has seriously degraded.

To have money for Tham's tuition and daily meals, her mother often goes to look after buffaloes, cows, raise chickens and ducks for rent to households in and outside the neighborhood. In addition, she does whatever people hire her to do. For Tham, besides going to school, she often follows her mother to help with some of the work. Although life is difficult, she never complains to her mother about the family's situation. In return, she loves her mother more and tries to be a good student at school. With her efforts, she has been an excellent student for 9 consecutive years and passed the entrance exam to Quynh Luu IV High School.

In Tham's house there is nothing valuable except the bed.

However, Tham's mother sometimes had unstable nerves, life was too difficult, poverty was always there, so it seemed that she no longer had enough strength to raise her children. Therefore, she decided to let Tham quit school when the new school year, new school, new class was about to start. Although it was hard and miserable, Tham never once thought that she would have to quit school halfway, this was a shock to her. Because of that, her dream of becoming an English interpreter working in a big company to have a stable job and have money to support her mother would no longer exist.

Quynh Tam commune delegation gave gifts to help Tham go to school.

Understanding her situation and to effectively implement the program "Helping children go to school", the Youth Union of Quynh Tam commune went to her house to persuade her mother to continue sending her to school. At the same time, they called on and encouraged the Youth Union members in the whole commune and local youths who work far away in provinces and cities across the country to reduce part of their expenses to support the cost of buying books and paying tuition for her. Thanks to that, up to now, the Youth Union of the commune has supported her with 5 million VND including cash and school supplies.

Mr. Nguyen Van Duc - Secretary of Quynh Tam Youth Union said: "Tham is an active member, has many good initiatives, good thinking, good at studying, but because her family is too poor, for many consecutive years she has been in the poor category of the commune, so her development is somewhat limited.

To create conditions for her to go to school, the Youth Union is currently actively calling for support from its members. Through this, I really hope that more organizations, individuals and philanthropists will help her to realize her dream, develop her abilities to become a useful person for her family and society."
