00:00:03.170 --> 00:00:06.479 
In the mountainous district of Dak Rong
in Quang Tri province, there are more 

00:00:06.479 --> 00:00:08.370 
than 1,300 teachers working in nearly 40 schools. 

00:00:08.590 --> 00:00:11.630 
Many schools in remote areas
have difficult access points. 

00:00:12.230 --> 00:00:15.421 
The biggest difficulty for teachers from
the plains who come to Dak Rong to teach 

00:00:15.421 --> 00:00:16.910 
is not having a place to stay. 

00:00:19.235 --> 00:00:23.230 
Our dormitory does not have food or
accommodation. In cases like mine, if I 

00:00:23.230 --> 00:00:28.082 
have a small child, I have to come here
every day because I have no place to 

00:00:28.082 --> 00:00:29.795 
stay and cannot bring my child. 

00:00:31.315 --> 00:00:36.557 
Especially this rainy season is very
hard, but there are days when we stay 

00:00:36.557 --> 00:00:42.548 
until noon when the whole day is long,
we have to bring lunch and prepare extra 

00:00:42.548 --> 00:00:44.795 
food to sleep in the classroom. 

00:00:44.795 --> 00:00:51.451 
And through that, I also hope to have
public housing so that we can have more 

00:00:51.451 --> 00:00:55.195 
stability in our living conditions and
work more securely. 

00:00:55.769 --> 00:01:00.169 
Due to limited resources, investing in
building public housing for teachers is difficult. 

00:01:00.589 --> 00:01:04.346 
Therefore, since 2013, Da Crong district
has carried out social 

00:01:04.346 --> 00:01:05.849 
work in construction investment. 

00:01:05.849 --> 00:01:09.889 
and solidify classrooms, especially
public housing for teachers. 

00:01:10.429 --> 00:01:14.329 
At Trai Ca school, Ta Long primary
school, there are nearly 10 teachers working. 

00:01:14.829 --> 00:01:18.629 
Before there was a public house, there
were teachers who had to travel nearly 150 km every day. 

00:01:19.309 --> 00:01:24.089 
In 2013, the Quang Tri Provincial Labor
Federation built and donated a 3-room public housing house. 

00:01:24.089 --> 00:01:27.590 
within the school grounds. This is a
great source of encouragement and 

00:01:27.590 --> 00:01:29.049 
also the dream of teachers. 

00:01:29.654 --> 00:01:35.084 
After the temporary house was degraded,
we were arranged to stay in a waiting 

00:01:35.084 --> 00:01:40.514 
room, a very small waiting room but it
could accommodate 7 to 8 teachers. 

00:01:41.054 --> 00:01:44.474 
We both live and work
in that waiting room. 

00:01:46.634 --> 00:01:50.799 
Although it was very difficult, we still
tried our best to 

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.314 
complete our task well. 

00:01:52.314 --> 00:01:58.576 
But in early September 2023, we received
the attention of the Provincial Labor 

00:01:58.576 --> 00:02:03.874 
Federation, which supported us with 3
very solid and comfortable rooms. 

00:02:05.654 --> 00:02:10.734 
Since then we have had a stable place to
live and work with peace of mind. 

00:02:12.574 --> 00:02:16.632 
We are also very grateful to the
Provincial Federation of Labor for 

00:02:16.632 --> 00:02:20.014 
creating conditions and supporting
teachers in mountainous areas like us. 

00:02:20.752 --> 00:02:25.181 
Since 2013, in Da Crong district there
were 206 public houses, then 10 years 

00:02:25.181 --> 00:02:27.712 
later, nearly 60 more
public houses were built. 

00:02:28.152 --> 00:02:31.962 
Each public house built brings joy and
happiness to teachers, helping them feel 

00:02:31.962 --> 00:02:35.772 
secure in their work and contribute to
the education cause in remote areas.
