Children drifting on Ban Ve hydroelectric lake

(Baonghean.vn) – Since the Ban Ve hydropower plant came into operation, the residents along the Nam Non River have also been involved in the river trade to make a living. Following their families, the lives of the children here are also drifting and struggling on small boats.

The operation of Ban Ve Hydropower Plant has turned the aquatic resources of the reservoir area on the Nam Non River into the main source of income for hundreds of households. The daily life of the whole family is also mainly on the river.

Living off the income from the lake, the lives of the people here are precarious with the water. And children who want to go to school must be taken by adults by boat.

At some other schools such as Con Phen village (Huu Khuong - Tuong Duong), every day children have to cross small bridges on fish rafts to go to school.

After free time, the children in the lake go to the shallow water area to catch small fish to improve their meals.

Their lives mainly take place around the fish cages of the villagers.

Although very young, this child can go to the river to collect driftwood from upstream.

Or rebuild the water turbine power system for the family.

Moreover, because they mainly travel on rivers, living on small boats has long been familiar to them.

Children follow their mother to make a living on Ban Ve lake.

The kitchen is in harmony with the water.
