(Baonghean.vn) - Far from home and family, Laotian students still feel warm because they have foster parents and a second home. This year's Tet is also the first time they celebrate the traditional Vietnamese New Year.

| For the past four years, Laotian students studying at Vinh University of Technical Education have considered the family of Mr. Nguyen Bui Thai (grade 10, Hong Son ward, Vinh city) as their second family. This year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they did not return home for Tet but stayed in Vietnam to celebrate Tet with their host families. Photo: Duc Anh |

| At the end of the old year, the family organizes a New Year's Eve dinner to welcome the children back to visit and to make sure they don't feel sad about being away from home. Photo: Duc Anh |

| The program of adopting Laotian students has been implemented by the Vietnam-Laos Friendship Association for many years. In Trung Phong block - Hung Dung ward, there are currently about 10 families adopting children to live with other families. Having been together for many years, the children consider this place their second family, as close as their own children. Photo: Duc Anh |
