Kindergarten teacher spreads love in the border area of Ha Tinh

After returning from the program “Sharing with teachers” held in Hanoi on the occasion of November 20, teacher Tran Thi Lan was still moved and proud. The event honoring teachers who have been bringing knowledge and love to students in difficult areas day and night is not only a source of encouragement, but also a driving force for teacher Lan to continue to contribute more to preschool education in difficult areas.

Ms. Tran Thi Lan - teacher at Huong Lam Kindergarten (Huong Xuan commune).

Born into a large family in Huong Lam commune (now Huong Xuan commune), from her school days, Ms. Lan soon nurtured a special passion for caring for and educating young children. Her love for children and her dream of becoming a preschool teacher became the driving force for her to constantly strive in her studies. In 2005, after graduating from the Faculty of Preschool Education, Ha Tinh Pedagogical College, Tran Thi Lan returned to her hometown, starting her journey of sowing seeds of love at Huong Lam Kindergarten - where she has been attached and devoted throughout the following years.

Ms. Lan shared: “With a great love for children, I started my teaching career with many difficulties and challenges. At that time, the school was still temporary, I was assigned by the school to be in charge of a group of classes located at the old medical station of Huong Lam commune (old). To overcome the lack of facilities, I asked my parents for help in providing wood to make 10 sets of desks and chairs for the students. Every morning, I went to each house in the village to mobilize and welcome each child to class…”

Those unforgettable early days have become beautiful memories, giving me more strength and faith in the path I have chosen. It is from those hardships that I learned to persevere, love my job more and deeply understand the meaning of the work of sowing seeds for the future. Up to now, even though I have spent many years in the profession, every time I recall that time, I still feel full of emotion and pride, because that is the foundation for my love and passion for teaching today."
