(Baonghean.vn) - On holidays, many students of Tam Thai Secondary School, Tam Thai Commune (Tuong Duong) go to earn money to help their parents by making nursery pots for local facilities.

| These days, Tuong Duong Forestry Company is in the period of growing seedlings to serve the needs of the area, so it requires a lot of manpower to pack the trees in the timely manner. This is also an opportunity for students in the area to have suitable jobs during the holidays. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| Vi Van Huan, a 6th grade student living in Canh Trap village, Tam Thai commune, said: "Because my family is poor, I try to do whatever job anyone hires me after school. I give the money I earn to my parents to buy books and notebooks. If I earn a lot, I will buy new warm clothes to wear." Photo: Ho Phuong |

| "In addition to studying, working and earning money to help their parents is a characteristic of students in mountainous areas. Work also keeps them away from useless games" - a teacher at Tam Thai Secondary School shared. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| Currently, more than 40 students in Tam Thai commune participate in making nursery pots every day. However, the work is limited so it only lasts about a week. Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong, a worker at Tuong Duong Forestry Company, said that every year, when the potting season comes, the company hires local students. This helps them earn a small amount of money. "The lives of local people are still difficult, this work, although small, is supported by many people," Ms. Phuong added. Photo: Ho Phuong |
