Handing over and putting into use boarding house for border students

(Baonghean.vn) - On the occasion of the opening of the new school year 2014, on September 5, 2014, at Na Ngoi commune, Ky Son district, the Provincial Border Guard Command coordinated with Nghe An Provincial Youth Union and local authorities to hand over "dream-making houses" to students of Na Ngoi ethnic boarding secondary school, Ky Son district.

The project has a total value of over 300 million VND, of which Nghe An Provincial Youth Union supported 150 million VND from contributions from students of 9 universities and colleges in Vinh City, the rest is from material contributions and working days of officers and soldiers of Na Ngoi Border Post.

The local authorities, people of Na Ngoi commune, teachers and students of the school also contributed hundreds of working days to build the school. The project started in March 2014, including 3 level 4 houses and 1 kitchen.

Representatives of the units cut the ribbon to inaugurate the boarding house.

Na Ngoi Secondary School for Ethnic Minorities has 430 students, of which 330 live far away, some of whom live 20 km away on foot through the forest. The boarding house project donated by the Border Guard Command and Nghe An Provincial Youth Union is a meaningful gift that helps students who live far away from school to have a place to eat, live, and study with peace of mind, contributing to reducing the number of students dropping out of school and improving the quality of education at the school.

On this occasion, Nghe An Border Guard Command and representatives of colleges and universities in Vinh City presented 20 gifts to disadvantaged students of the school.
