Accordingly, Emasi Nam Long International Bilingual School launched "Sharing Week" from September 13 to 20 with many different activities.
"For Emasi Nam Long students, it is easy to ask them to contribute materially. We hope that through charity work, we caneducate students about love, compassion, and caring for the community. Charity is not only about donating money but also about empathy and sharing," said Mr. Luke Turner.
Must understand to be able to share

On the first day of launching the "Sharing Week", Emasi Nam Long School held an activity with students from all classes. Here, students watched, listened and read about Typhoon Yagi and its terrible devastation.
In the following lessons, teachers will spend the first 10 minutes of class updating news with pictures and clips about the problems that people in the North have faced and are facing after the storm and flood receded.
In addition, the content about storms and floods is also integrated into the main lessons for primary school students such as: why storm Yagi happened in the North, how to prevent and fight storms, protecting our environment today... Primary school students also have a lesson on writing letters to students affected by storms and floods.
Patrick, a 4S student, wrote a rather long letter. At the end of the letter, he carefully wrote a line in large letters: "North, stay strong!" He expressed: "Watching the videos of Typhoon Yagi in the North, I was very scared. The winds were so strong, blowing away roofs and big trees...
After reading it, I feel so sorry for the students in the storm and flood areas. They are so miserable, they are so sad that they can't go to school because of the storm and flood. Many of them have also lost loved ones. I hope that when they read my letter, they will be less sad."
Many fundraising activities

In addition to contributing directly to the charity gift box, some students from Emasi Nam Long School joined the volunteer army to sell ice cream during school hours to raise funds. In addition, many other students drew paintings for the school to auction to raise funds for people in flood-hit areas.
Hoa Vinh Lam Yen, a 6M student, confided: "Painting is not my favorite subject. But I still painstakingly made a beautiful drawing and hoped that someone would buy it and contribute to the fund for students in flooded areas. Typhoon Yagi was terrible.
I live in Ho Chi Minh City and every time I see heavy rain and flooded streets, I feel so tired. Any day when it rains all day long from morning to afternoon, I feel so sad. Here, my friends in the flood-hit areas have to go through terrible days of pain and suffering, and there is also the risk of their lives being affected. I feel so sorry for them."
According to the board of directors of Emasi Nam Long School, as of the afternoon of September 19, 19 paintings by students had been sold for 20 million VND.
"The paintings were not only displayed in the school's public areas but were also photographed, uploaded to a link and sent to all parents of the school along with a call to bid.
This program will not only last until the end of the sharing week. After September 20, the school will print the pictures into a 2025 calendar and continue to sell the calendar to raise funds for charity" - a member of the board of directors of Emasi Nam Long School informed.
