00:00:05.448 --> 00:00:09.120 
Behind me is Mr. Phung's school, which
belongs to Tra Dan commune's ethnic 

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:12.228 
boarding school, Nam Tra My district,
worth nearly 1.3 billion VND. 

00:00:12.788 --> 00:00:16.428 
This is a project jointly supported by
philanthropists to build and put into 

00:00:16.428 --> 00:00:19.788 
use on this learning page to further
contact teachers in the mountainous 

00:00:19.788 --> 00:00:21.468 
areas of Nam Tra My district. 

00:00:26.002 --> 00:00:29.442 
During a visit and gift giving in this
mountainous area of ​​Nam Tra My 

00:00:29.442 --> 00:00:31.362 
Then came across the school points 

00:00:31.362 --> 00:00:35.002 
The classrooms are in a
very dilapidated state. 

00:00:35.002 --> 00:00:41.162 
Teachers and students sit in classrooms
that are noisy and noisy. 

00:00:41.162 --> 00:00:43.182 
Below is the smallest mud. 

00:00:43.182 --> 00:00:45.022 
Above is the valley 

00:00:45.022 --> 00:00:46.122 
It is very temporary 

00:00:46.122 --> 00:00:48.702 
When it rains, it's so noisy that you can't teach anything. 

00:00:48.702 --> 00:00:51.042 
A board is also divided in half because it is the attic. 

00:00:51.042 --> 00:00:52.362 
One side is class 1, one side is class 2 

00:00:52.362 --> 00:00:54.762 
The table and chairs seemed
to tilt back and forth. 

00:00:54.762 --> 00:00:57.042 
Overall it's a mess. 

00:00:57.042 --> 00:01:00.282 
Then about it somewhere its image keeps
sticking in the minds of those who go with it. 

00:01:00.282 --> 00:01:04.122 
Then we'll sit down and discuss whether
we should build a level 4 house or not. 

00:01:04.122 --> 00:01:06.862 
To help teachers have
a less talkative classroom 

00:01:06.862 --> 00:01:09.742 
But that was 12 years ago, 13 years ago. 

00:01:09.742 --> 00:01:12.762 
Well we started from that. 

00:01:14.045 --> 00:01:17.901 
Up to now, after 13 years, the Friends
of Commerce Association has connected 

00:01:17.901 --> 00:01:19.385 
with benefactors across the country. 

00:01:19.885 --> 00:01:23.705 
18 schools were built in the mountainous
areas of Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, and Quang Tri. 

00:01:24.425 --> 00:01:27.725 
In Nam Tra My district alone, there are
16 schools sponsored by the group. 

00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:33.654 
Up to now, we have kept in mind and
vowed to try every year to somehow 

00:01:33.654 --> 00:01:35.940 
support the education sector in the mountainous areas. 

00:01:35.940 --> 00:01:38.760 
A specialized, spacious, interactive school 

00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:45.710 
And I would like to share one thing that
we are just representatives of other 

00:01:45.710 --> 00:01:47.100 
hearts and arms. 

00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:51.180 
Everywhere is looking towards remote
schools like this. 

00:01:53.228 --> 00:01:57.344 
And this is teacher Nguyen Tran Vi, who
has spent more than 20 years bringing 

00:01:57.344 --> 00:02:00.088 
letters to students in the
mountainous areas of Quang Nam. 

00:02:01.088 --> 00:02:05.788 
It is a floating bridge so that children
can have more full meals and warm clothes. 

00:02:06.808 --> 00:02:11.744 
Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Vi and his
colleagues, about 60 schools, dozens of 

00:02:11.744 --> 00:02:15.692 
bridges and water canals have been built
in the difficult mountainous district 

00:02:15.692 --> 00:02:17.008 
of Nam Tram Yen. 

00:02:21.460 --> 00:02:25.769 
Before, if it rained heavily, it was
very difficult to go out, I had 

00:02:25.769 --> 00:02:27.000 
to stay at home. 

00:02:27.740 --> 00:02:33.720 
Now that the bridge is built, I have to
go to Son On school. 

00:02:34.380 --> 00:02:38.260 
I am very happy to have
such a beautiful bridge. 

00:02:39.010 --> 00:02:44.330 
After I taught, I saw that the students
had many difficulties, including teachers and myself. 

00:02:45.090 --> 00:02:50.053 
So I also wish for a brighter story for
the children and for myself 

00:02:50.053 --> 00:02:51.470 
to teach it better. 

00:02:52.578 --> 00:02:58.134 
The path to literacy for mountain
children is still difficult and arduous, 

00:02:58.134 --> 00:03:02.765 
but with the effective support from
kind-hearted people and dedicated 

00:03:02.765 --> 00:03:07.858 
teachers, that journey seems to be
strengthened to ease the hardships.
