From a student with special circumstances who needed a lot of favor from everyone, now the two children have overcome difficulties to become good children, achieving the title of advanced students of Tan Lac Town Secondary School, Quy Chau.

To achieve good academic results, every day, besides going to school, Trang has to take care of the family for her parents, from going to the market to cooking at home. In her free time, Trang also does extra work, sometimes drying incense sticks, or when the season comes, rolling incense sticks for neighbors, earning from 100,000 to 120,000 VND per day. With that amount of money, along with the allowance for orphans of over 400,000 VND/month, Trang and Nhung have helped each other overcome difficulties to go to school.
