Coming to Nghe An this time, Vinamilk andVietnam Grow Up Milk FundTogether with the program "Couple of Loving Leaves" visited the house of Nguyen Canh Dat (born in 2009) in Xuan Hoa commune, Nam Dan district, Nghe An province. Dat's situation is very difficult because his father passed away due to a serious illness, and his mother has suffered from degenerative arthritis for many years and cannot do heavy work, so the family's income is very unstable. Dat and his sister Nguyen Thi Thuan live with their mother in a two-room house with a dilapidated tiled roof. Because of the limited economy and the lack of a male breadwinner, the house is as desolate as the life of the three of them.

However, in the midst of such constant hardship, Dat and his sister still tried very hard to study and achieved excellent results for many years. Not only that, Dat and his sister always took advantage of their time to do housework, take care of the chickens to help their mother and improve the family economy. His small hands, in addition to holding a pen to study, in addition to doing housework quickly, also helped his mother soothe her pain. For a boy only 11 years old, at the age when he should only "know how to eat, sleep, and study to be good", the things he did to help his family and take care of his mother were meaningful and commendable actions.
