A few days ago, the ethnic boarding school in Huu Lung commune, Lang Son province, was submerged under 3 meters of water, completely isolating the entire school. Today, October 10th, the water has partially receded, and with the help of the military, teachers and students have brought out their books to dry, cleaned the school, and are eagerly awaiting the day they can return to class.

Upon arriving at the school, we witnessed a bustling atmosphere as teachers, in coordination with the military, cleared mud, propped up furniture, and carried out a thorough cleaning.
On the morning of October 10th, Regiment 12, Division 3, Military Region 1 deployed forces and equipment to the flooded area at Huu Lung Ethnic Boarding School, Junior High School and High School in Huu Lung commune, Lang Son province. Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Si Phuong, Deputy Political Commissar of Regiment 12, said: “Due to the deep flooding of the first floor of the school, since October 9th, the unit has sent 100 officers and soldiers to swim through the flooded area to reach and deliver essential supplies to the teachers and students. By the morning of October 10th, the water showed signs of receding, and the regiment organized forces and equipment to carry out a thorough cleanup so that the students could quickly return to their studies.” Urgent measures are needed to address the consequences of the floods so that students can quickly stabilize and return to school. Books, documents, and teaching equipment were brought out to the yard to dry in the sun after many days of rain and flooding. Officers and soldiers of Regiment 12 assisted the school with a general cleaning. Hoang Viet Anh was overjoyed to find his student ID and health insurance card buried under deep mud and floodwater.
The carefully preserved "letters," despite being submerged in mud and water for a long time, create a touching image of the resilience of teachers and students in the flood-stricken region. Students worked together to sort usable books and notebooks, collect trash, and clean the school premises. The military forces are providing support to the teachers and students of the school to overcome difficulties. The young soldiers took advantage of every sunny minute to help their teachers wipe down desks, chairs, and learning materials. One classroom still smelled damp, and the teachers had to scrub every corner of the walls and the blackboard to prepare for the students' return. Officers and soldiers of Regiment 12, along with teachers from the school, cleaned up mud and debris in the classrooms after the floodwaters receded.
The students personally cleaned the mud off their books, desks, and chairs after the flood. Phung Thi Ly was overjoyed when she found her provincial-level certificate of excellence for being a top student, which had been buried deep under the floodwaters. After a hard day of cleaning, the teachers and parent association members cooked meals and brought them to the children. "Exposing written words" - a testament to the unwavering spirit in the face of natural disasters. The students enthusiastically helped the soldiers move their books and notebooks outside. The students are optimistic and determined to overcome difficulties, hoping to return to their studies soon.

Mr. Hoang Van Luc, the school principal, shared: “The officers and soldiers of Regiment 12 arrived very promptly and provided a lot of support to the school. With their enthusiasm and hard work, the school will soon resume operations.”
