00:00:03.845 --> 00:00:08.056 
Typhoon Yagi not only left behind heavy
material damage but also unforgettable 

00:00:08.056 --> 00:00:11.565 
pain for families in Nu Bao
Yen village, Lao Cai. 

00:00:12.105 --> 00:00:15.673 
Reading the tragic news here, many
people shed tears, including Mr. Nguyen 

00:00:15.673 --> 00:00:18.945 
Xuan Khang, chairman of the board
of Marie Curie School, Hanoi. 

00:00:19.305 --> 00:00:23.712 
With the hope that the children here
will soon return to normal life and 

00:00:23.712 --> 00:00:27.805 
receive a full education, Mr. Khang
decided to adopt 22 students until adulthood. 

00:00:28.128 --> 00:00:33.618 
Raising children in Nu village, some of
whom are very young, only 3 years old, 

00:00:33.618 --> 00:00:35.448 
will take another 15 years. 

00:00:35.748 --> 00:00:43.007 
Now I'm 90 years old, if I can still see
all my children grow up, that would 

00:00:43.007 --> 00:00:44.288 
be a happiness. 

00:00:44.928 --> 00:00:47.988 
But even if it is not like that, 

00:00:47.988 --> 00:00:58.250 
Then my children, grandchildren, and
colleagues will continue the wishes of 

00:00:58.250 --> 00:01:03.848 
my grandfather, father, colleagues,
and teacher. 

00:01:04.468 --> 00:01:11.120 
And certainly the children in Nu village
will be well taken care of, of this I 

00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.368 
am completely assured. 

00:01:13.049 --> 00:01:16.273 
Adopting 22 students from the village is
not the first project that teacher 

00:01:16.273 --> 00:01:19.249 
Nguyen Xuan Khang has carried out to
support students in the highlands. 

00:01:19.729 --> 00:01:23.118 
Before that, he always wanted to develop
education in the highlands and carried 

00:01:23.118 --> 00:01:27.029 
out many educational projects as well as
community projects in Meo Vac district, Ha Giang. 

00:01:27.427 --> 00:01:32.187 
In recent years, our school has had 4
projects for Meo Vac. 

00:01:32.887 --> 00:01:35.367 
Meo Vac is seriously lacking English teachers. 

00:01:35.947 --> 00:01:46.168 
Then we recruited online teaching for 76
third grade classes, 2,609 students from 

00:01:46.168 --> 00:01:48.527 
18 elementary schools. 

00:01:48.527 --> 00:01:56.081 
I proposed to the People's Committee of
Meo Vac district to do a project to 

00:01:56.081 --> 00:01:59.607 
train 30 English teachers
from local people. 

00:02:00.327 --> 00:02:06.675 
And so I created a long-term,
sustainable, stable teaching staff for 

00:02:06.675 --> 00:02:08.407 
Meo Vac district. 

00:02:09.147 --> 00:02:14.071 
My whole life is devoted to education,
so I am willing to do 

00:02:14.071 --> 00:02:15.587 
anything to develop education. 

00:02:15.587 --> 00:02:18.507 
Not only in my school
but also in the localities. 

00:02:18.527 --> 00:02:22.507 
Especially in remote areas, mountainous
and coastal areas. 

00:02:23.097 --> 00:02:27.041 
From September 30 to October 1, The
Khang sent a group of staff from Marie 

00:02:27.041 --> 00:02:30.460 
Curie School to Nu Village to visit
families with children who were lucky 

00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:32.037 
enough to survive the terrible flood. 

00:02:32.517 --> 00:02:35.933 
went to the hospital where the children
were being treated and each school where 

00:02:35.933 --> 00:02:39.837 
Lang Nu students were studying to send
love from teachers and students of Marie Curie school.
