The road to Khe Bu and Khe Nong villages is bumpy and difficult to travel in many sections. Especially the section from Khe Bu to Khe Nong is mostly a trail, requiring 7 streams to cross. Just one rain, the water level rises so high that motorbikes cannot cross. Photo: Cong Kien |

The teachers found their way to the field to meet La Thi Vu and convince Vu's mother, La Thi Hoe. The road to the field had many slopes and streams, so the only way was to walk in the hot sun. Photo: Cong Kien |

Teachers from Chau Cam Secondary School continued to go to La Van Khai's field guard hut to persuade La Van Phu (class 7A2).

In Khe Nong village, 4 students have dropped out of school but have not been able to persuade any of them to come to class. In Khe Bu village, 6 students have dropped out of school but the teachers have only been able to persuade Le Van Van (class 6A2). Van is an orphan and his family is extremely poor, so he does not want to go to school. After being persuaded by the teachers, he agreed to take Mr. Duong Quang Tien's car to school. Ms. Dinh Thi Thu Ha - Principal of Chau Cam Secondary School said: "We will coordinate with the People's Committee of the commune, departments, branches, unions and Chau Khe Border Guard Station to continue to persuade the remaining students."
