Thus, this working delegation presented teachers and students of schools in Lao Cai province with a total gift worth 155 million VND.

The gifts from the teachers of the 5 university union clusters, although not large, were sincere feelings, sharing with a deep sense of humanity. Looking at the cheerful faces expressing joy and innocence of the students when receiving gifts along with a lot of candy, the members of the delegation felt warmer in the cold of the first days of December. The small gifts contributed to helping teachers and students have more motivation to continue to overcome difficulties, teach well and study better.

After 3 working days in Lao Cai, the delegation returned to Hanoi with a spirit of volunteerism and will continue to organize more meaningful activities to share and encourage teachers and students of schools in remote and isolated areas to gradually bring education between the highlands and lowlands closer together.
