In the crisp, cool air of the days leading up to Tet (Lunar New Year), the schoolyard in Nghe An is warm with the aroma of banana leaves, sticky rice, and green banh chung (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes)... This simple activity both preserves the traditional values ​​of the nation and carries a message of love and hope for a prosperous new year.
