Ms. Xoan's "special" class

(Baonghean.vn) - From sympathy and sharing with less fortunate children, after graduating from the Hanoi Industrial Fine Arts School, Ms. Nguyen Thi Xoan returned to her hometown to open a free vocational training class right at her home in block 16, Quy Hop town. Ms. Xoan's wish is to create more job opportunities for people with disabilities.

Local people say: This is Ms. Xoan's "special" class:

To have equipment to organize the class, in addition to the small amount of money from her family, Ms. Xoan borrowed 70 million VND from her siblings and friends to buy a sewing machine, an overlock machine, materials to make plaster molds...

The class has 15 students, who are disabled, orphaned, and disadvantaged children in Quy Hop district. In addition to vocational training, they also receive free accommodation and meals.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Xoan said: "My family's situation is also difficult, my father has passed away, my mother is old, my two children are still young, my husband lives far away, and our housing conditions are limited... But compared to the children, I feel much luckier. Therefore, helping them first comes from the "heart", from sympathy, sharing...".

It is known that in order to have money to buy rice, food, and other expenses, in addition to her own and family's efforts, Ms. Xoan has contacted many places to find outlets for the products. Currently, Sao Mai Kindergarten in Quy Hop town has purchased the statue products for students to practice painting.

With the products sewn by the children (mainly temple costumes), Ms. Xoan has contacted and supplied some temples in Thai Binh province.

Chi Xoan said: due to difficult economic conditions, she can only "take on" the vocational training stage for each child for 3 months, but organizing for the children to stay together and make products to earn income for herself in the long term is very difficult...
