(Baonghean.vn) - During the summer vacation, when their parents go to work far away, children in the border area of Nghe An take care of each other and help raise pigs and chickens. Every morning, they walk nearly 1km to bring food for the pigs...
On the way to work at the Pha Chieng border village, My Ly commune, Ky Son district, we came across the image of two small boys carrying food for a herd of pigs. The pigs walked in front, the man followed behind with a heavy bucket of food. They walked nearly 1 km but the children were still happy...

During summer vacation, children wander around playing with each other, while their parents go to work in the fields or go to work far away.

Nearly 100% of the village is poor, so children hardly get milk all year round, candy is a luxury gift that they can only eat during Tet. Daily food is mainly vegetables, bamboo shoots and white rice.
