A touching letter from a highland student to a volunteer student.

(NLĐO) - The handwritten letter, though only a few lines long, contained carefully crafted letters, reflecting the affection and diligent efforts of students in the Central Highlands.

"Bringing Literacy to the Villages" is a community project implemented by first-year students ofFPT Polytechnic College in Ho Chi Minh City, recently held in Bana hamlet and Cu K'bang village, Ea Rok commune, Dak Lak province. The project not only provides practical support to local children and residents but also helps students better understand their profession, live responsibly, and learn to share.

"Bringing Literacy to the Villages" is implemented within the framework of the Communication Project course, with the goal of connecting academic knowledge and practical activities.

I will study very hard!

After receiving a scholarship for underprivileged students and a gift package including cakes, candies, milk, notebooks, etc., Vuong Thi Thanh Nhan, a student at Le Hong Phong Primary School, walked back to her seat, took a blank piece of paper, and carefully wrote each line.

"Today I feel very happy and grateful to receive meaningful and loving gifts from you all. On behalf of my classmates at Le Hong Phong Primary School, I would like to thank you all. I will study hard," Nhan wrote.

The handwritten letter, though only a few lines long, contained so much emotion from a student in a remote area, yearning for education and striving to escape poverty.

The moment Nhàn focused on writing the thank-you letter moved many students to tears.

The handwritten letter was very neat and careful.

Thanh Nhàn's handwritten letter was the most valuable gift the project team received.

Although the project was a great success, Kim Ngan, a first-year student majoring in communication and event management, still has regrets. This is because there are still many disadvantaged people that the group couldn't support, especially young preschool children.

Ngan said the project involved about 35 students, divided into 3 groups, responsible for fundraising through sales, organizing promotional activities, and soliciting donations from benefactors. Within one month, the group had raised over 65 million VND.

From this funding source, the project focused on supporting education and improving living conditions for children in mountainous areas, including awarding 40 scholarships to disadvantaged students in Bana hamlet and Cu K'bang village. Specifically, Ly Thi Dau and Ly Van Cuong received special scholarships worth 10 million VND each, along with house repairs worth 5 million VND.

The project also donated over 600 notebooks, 400 pens, 200 servings of porridge, and over 2,000 boxes of milk, along with many other essential supplies, to the children.

Why is practical experience necessary right from the first year?

Speaking to reporters on December 16th, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Van, Head of the Communication and Event Organization Department at FPT Polytechnic College Ho Chi Minh City, said that although the "Carrying Literacy to the Villages" project has concluded, it has opened up many new ideas and materials for students, helping them to better understand the work of the communication and event organization industry.

The hot porridge portions were cooked by the students themselves.

In addition to awarding scholarships worth 10 million VND, the "orange-shirted" students also donated an extra 5 million VND to repair the house, buy two more beds, a set of tables and chairs, and personal items for the three orphaned siblings.

"Guiding first-year students in 'practical' projects is more challenging than guiding final-year students. However, this novelty is actually an advantage. They are very enthusiastic, willing to learn, and not afraid to try new things. Through each project, I feel that they have matured significantly in both skills and sense of responsibility," commented Ms. Thuy Van.

Drawing from her training experience and the specific demands of businesses, Ms. Thuy Van affirms that the most crucial element in the communications industry is practical skills coupled with a professional attitude.

"Businesses don't just look at qualifications; they're very interested in what projects students have worked on, what specific products they've created, and whether they have a proactive and responsible attitude. If students actively accumulate experience, aren't afraid of challenges, and continuously learn, their chances of finding a job in their field after graduation will be very high," emphasized Ms. Thuy Van.
