Teacher Lo Van E (born in 1976) has been living in Huoi May since 2020. This school year, he is in charge of grades 1 and 2. According to the male teacher with 20 years of experience, children in Huoi May have never been to preschool, so when entering grade 1, teachers living in the village must help students get acquainted with the first letters.

After the 17th week of school, all first graders in Huoi May village could read clearly. According to teacher E, because the number of students was small, teachers could tutor them after school hours, so the students could keep up with the program even though they did not go through preschool.

According to teacher Lo Van Thanh, despite many difficulties, the people and students love the teachers very much. That is also the reason why he has been attached to this area for a long time. "Even if I want to move to a more favorable area, when I am away, the students refuse to come to class. Because of that affection, I will continue to stay with the children of Huoi May village," teacher Thanh confided. Photo: Huu Vi

After school, teacher Lo Van Thanh often visits and chats with families in the village. Local residents also consider this teacher a close member of the community.
