(Baonghean.vn) - Parents carrying cans, buckets, basins... to class with their children has been a familiar sight for many years at Chau Thai Kindergarten. This year, the situation is even more tense when, just at the beginning of summer, the fresh water sources at the schools have dried up...
 |
Chau Thai is one of the 135 communes. The mountainous area, combined with steep terrain and many rocky mountains, makes fresh water very rare. It is only the beginning of summer but most of the wells are dry or the water is cloudy and difficult to use. |
 |
Since mid-March, teachers have had to walk hundreds of meters into people's homes every day to get water for their students. |
 |
To have enough water for boarding students, the school requires that parents bring a can of water for their children every day.. |
 |
Many families have 2 or 3 children going to kindergarten, and because water at home is also scarce, they have to walk more than a kilometer to the stream to get water. |
 |
Fresh water is even more difficult for the remote school in Tam Thanh village. To support the school, for many years now, households in the village have voluntarily stored water. |
 |
At the same time, mobilize everyone to bring water every day to serve the children. |
 |
Almost every bucket in the school was mobilized to store water. |
 |
Water is also used flexibly to save. |
 |
Waste water will be used to take care of the flower garden. |
 |
In the current conditions, ensuring 100% clean water for children is extremely difficult. The biggest wish of Chau Thai Kindergarten is to install a well. However, due to difficult economic conditions and limited social mobilization resources, it has not been possible for many years. |
