Charity model from student union

At Vo Thi Sau Primary School, Khanh Hoa Commune, U Minh District, every corner of the classroom has a cute little piggy bank. Every day, each student takes turns "feeding the pig", not with food but with love wrapped in small bills. In the 2024-2025 school year alone, the "Raising a piggy bank for the poor" model here raised more than 29 million VND, supporting 38 students, some with bicycles so they don't have to walk 5km to class, some with new books to replace the crumpled pages, some with intact uniforms so they don't hesitate every time they salute the flag.

Students of Vo Thi Sau Primary School, Khanh Hoa Commune, U Minh District, save money together to raise piggy banks - a humane activity to help friends in difficult circumstances continue to go to school.

Nguyen Thi Ha Linh, a student of Class 5A2, smiled brightly: “I am very proud to study at the school named after Hero Vo Thi Sau. Among the many meaningful activities organized by teachers, I am most impressed with the piggy bank movement. Although only contributing small amounts of money, each class and each student contributes to taking care of their “pig” with all their heart. When the piggy bank is full, it is the time to share love, helping those in need have more books and school supplies. I hope this movement will continue to spread, so that small things can continue to make great things.”

Mr. Le Hoang Deo, a teacher at Vo Thi Sau Primary School, shared: “Every time I break the piggy bank and see the children cheering, I am deeply moved. This is not just a competitive movement but a journey to sow love and nurture students’ personalities from the simplest things.”

Implementing the school year program of the Ca Mau Provincial Youth Union Council, right from the beginning of the school year, the Youth Union Councils of districts and cities have built and deployed the "Piggy Bank" movement to all team members, children, teachers and parents. The activity quickly received unanimous response, with the goal of helping poor students, students in especially difficult circumstances and rewarding those with outstanding achievements; from there, "Piggy Bank" is not only a simple savings movement, but also a vivid lesson about compassion. Every coin collected by the children every day, from breakfast to small rewards, carries love and sharing.

Not only the “Piggy Bank” movement, the “Small Plan” movement is also widely deployed by the teams. Scrap paper, beer cans, soft drink cans or plastic bottles, which adults easily ignore, become valuable assets in the hands of children. At Hang Vinh Primary School, Nam Can District, the story of Son Khanh Huy, Class 2A2, Khmer ethnic, made many teachers choke up. His family is in a difficult situation, has no land for production, lives in a temporary house, his parents work for a living, he once intended to drop out of school because he did not have enough money to buy books. It was the small change from his friends, some contributed 1,000 VND, some contributed 2,000 VND and the “Small Plan” movement that gathered together to create a gift for him to continue going to class.

Students of Hang Vinh Primary School (Nam Can District) participate in the "Small Plan" movement to raise funds to help poor friends overcome difficulties.

“The day I received the bicycle, textbooks and school supplies, I was so happy I wanted to cry. I felt so sorry for my friends, I promised to study hard so that I can help others like that in the future,” Son Khanh Huy said shyly.

Mr. Trinh Hoang Tham, Head of the Hang Vinh Primary School Team, said: “These models of saving and sharing with humanity not only help disadvantaged students reduce their material burden, but also nurture in them a spirit of kindness, love and sharing. Through each small action, students learn to live responsibly, mature in their thinking and spread good values ​​to their friends around them. That movement is like a smoldering fire, quietly lighting up the spirit of self-awareness and solidarity in each class, where great things are being sown from the pure hearts and sincerity of the students.”

From small movements such as “Small Plans” and “Piggy Bank Raising”, a great value is quietly forming a spirit of sharing in each student. In the 2024-2025 school year, 2 districts, U Minh and Nam Can, have 56 teams implementing this model, raising more than 400 million VND, supporting over 530 students in difficult circumstances to overcome difficulties and excel in their studies.

Ms. Quach Cam Tu, Chairwoman of the U Minh District Youth Union Council, commented: “Over the years, the District Youth Union Council has always paid special attention to implementing the Small Plan movement to 100% of the Youth Unions throughout the district. What makes this movement valuable is not the amount of money raised, but the spread of kindness and the spirit of sharing among students. Each scrap of paper, each coin not only contributes to helping students go to school, but also is proof of a generation growing up with hearts that know how to love and live for each other. That is the greatest success of the movement.”

These good models, though simple but full of humanity, are becoming a bridge of love between students, giving them more strength to overcome their circumstances and continue their dream of going to school. This is the result of the close coordination between the school, parents and the Young Pioneers in educating the personality and nurturing the souls of today's generation of children./.
