The admirable thing is that despite the difficulties, the children are not discouraged and study very hard. In addition to the time spent in class, after finishing school, they rush to help their mother with housework. The two children are rarely absent from school. Dau Thi Nhung has been an excellent student in primary school for 5 consecutive years and has been an advanced student since grade 6. Dau Thi Vi, despite her health condition, has also tried hard and has quite good academic results...

The determination and will to study and do well of the two students made many friends in the class love and admire them.

Recently, Vi was diagnosed with congenital heart disease, but due to difficult circumstances, she has not been able to receive treatment. The two-room house that the mother and her three children are temporarily living in is also severely degraded. In addition to two old beds, the only space left is a table that has just been set up to worship their father. Ms. Hoa, a neighbor of the two children, sighed: "The children's circumstances are really difficult, I don't know what their future will be like..."

Mr. Pham Van Lang - Vi and Nhung's homeroom teacher added: in the face of the two students' sudden difficult situation, the class visited and encouraged their families. It is expected that in the near future, the school will organize a fundraising event for teachers and students, including a separate fund to visit and encourage the two students' families. Currently, in order for the students to continue going to school, in addition to the tuition reduction according to regulations, the school will consider providing additional support for the two students; continue to encourage them to overcome difficulties in life.

Hopefully with the support of the school and the community of benefactors, the children will have the conditions to be treated and continue their dream of going to school.
