Not only that, they also had to cross 3 broken spillways, the water was very dangerous. To be safer, the teachers had to go in groups to support each other when crossing the stream. Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa (Chieu Luu 2 Kindergarten) shared: Yesterday the water rose so high that the teachers could not reach the students. Today, it was also very difficult to get to La Ngan village, but because we wanted the students to go to school as soon as possible, we crossed the forest and waded through streams to clean up the school as quickly as possible.
