On September 12, many students of Hanoi Primary School, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi continued to be "busy" by making sesame salt, roasting peanuts, roasting sesame, pounding peanuts, mixing salt, bottling... then writing small, pretty cards to send to students and people in flooded areas.

After completing the process of making sesame salt, Nguyen Tri Quang, a student of class 2A2, wrote a card and stuck it on each jar of sesame salt with the message: "I wish those in need good health, peace and safety. If they need help, let me help. Keep it up, uncles and aunts!"

Tri said he and his friends made many jars of sesame salt to give to people in flooded areas because it was "very difficult for the children there to find food, and it was very dangerous outside."

"We don't have much money or energy like adults, but our love for our fellow countrymen is not small. These sesame salt jars contain our hope. Enjoy your meal," a student sent a message.

Le Nguyen Chuc An, class 4A2, sent a message: "We want to send a little sesame to help everyone. I hope this little bit of love will warm everyone's hearts."

"When I read the cards written by the students, I was very surprised and touched. The wishes were very innocent and naive, but full of the children's love and concern for the people in the flood-affected areas. I think this activity has achieved meaningful goals, helping the children understand the spirit of mutual love and responsibility to the community," said Ms. Huong.

Ms. Huong added that the school is launching the third phase, calling on teachers, school administrators, parents and students to donate money within their means, to join hands to support and help people affected by storm No. 3, so that people can quickly return to normal life.
