"For the first time, I felt "happy" when I went to help my fellow countrymen and "got" to wait in line for my turn.

And that is rich material for my future lesson plan to add lessons about caring and sharing."

The above is the feeling of teacher Tran Tuan Anh, a civics teacher at Colette Secondary School, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, when he came to contribute to support the people in the North affected by storms and floods, initiated by Tuoi Tre newspaper.

The following is what the teacher shared with Tuoi Tre Online .

Humanity in lesson plans

After finishing 3 teaching periods, I hurried to the Tuoi Tre newspaper office to send some sympathy to the people in the North.

Although I have been to the editorial office many times, I feel strange today.

The security guard asked and pointed to the reader reception room. He nodded with a look that "spoke on behalf of me" to thank me.

For the first time, I felt "happy" when I went to help my fellow countrymen and "got" to wait in line for my turn.

Before me was a group of primary school students led by their teacher to share with the people.

Envelopes are held by donors sitting along a row of tables in the newspaper's reader reception room.

People came and went, with shouts of thanks going back and forth between readers and the staff of the office. The newspaper thanks the readers for their kindness, and the readers thank the newspaper for being the bridge to the people.

Sitting and swiping through my phone, I read an article from Tuoi Tre newspaper about humanity during a storm: " It has become a habit that before every unexpected disaster, the entire apparatus of Tuoi Tre newspaper trembles and moves.

Field workers closely follow every centimeter of rain and water, people synthesize news from many sources, people receive support resources, people organize immediate relief activities...".

Geographical distances between regions seem to disappear. Every centimeter, every millimeter, every minute, every second, every smallest unit of time, we hope that the loss and grief will gradually decrease, and that the suffering of our people will be lessened.

More lessons on "caring and sharing"

As a teacher with more than 15 years of experience teaching civics at secondary school level, preparing lessons before class is extremely enjoyable for me.

From finding documents, images, videos... taking care of each lecture slide as if it were absorbed into me and then conveying it to students - civics, a subject closely linked to the "breath" of life.

With the lessons "Caring, sympathizing, sharing" in grade 7 and "Actively participating in community activities" in grade 9, I immediately thought of the love and helping each other during storm number 3 in the North.

If before, every time I found good documents, it was very precious, I would enthusiastically download them and quickly put them into each lecture slide.

But today, before the images and videos of the storm, I paused, wondering where to start my lecture. Choking up, all ideas seemed to stop because the loss of my compatriots was too great.

The storm blew so hard that large trees were uprooted and scattered, solid walls collapsed, and corrugated iron roofs flew away in the howling sound of wind and rain...

In those waves, policemen and soldiers climbed up to the roofs to carry the elderly and children as if they were their own loved ones. Dogs and cats were not "forgotten".

Then the water rose, rocks and soil buried them, women cried loudly, men's eyes were red, coffins were lined up along the way, tears flowed in the flood...

I couldn't continue preparing my lesson, I fell asleep while the documents were still cluttered on the computer.

Lessons of caring and sharing will continue...

The lesson plan page opens with touching things

After typhoon Yagi , witnessing stories of humanity, in the coming days my lesson plan will continue to open, students will have their eyes wide open when listening to the teacher tell touching stories conveyed in Tuoi Tre newspaper.

That is the "Grain of Sand" of affection worth 1 billion VND of Professor Le Ngoc Thach, a 53-year-old tricycle driver who saved all week with small bills totaling 1.4 million VND, pots of banh chung and banh tet on fire during the "mid-autumn" season of people in the South and Central regions...

All are looking towards the beloved North.

And, the unison of teachers and students in the classroom will resound with the ancient folk songs that have always had the same value as the Vietnamese people: Gourd, please love the squash/ Although they are different species, they are on the same trellis; Red silk covers the mirror stand/ People in the same country must love each other "...
