Ms. Phan Thi Hanh, Principal of Phu Thuan Kindergarten, District 7, said that during his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always paid special attention to children - the future of the country. Despite being busy with work, Uncle Ho still regularly participated in activities for children. He talked to the children, asked about their studies and life, and encouraged them to strive...

For today's generation of children, children born and raised in peace , the image of Uncle Ho and his contributions to the country, is reflected in poems, songs, stories... Therefore, with the desire that children's lessons are not only in books, the board of directors of Phu Thuan Kindergarten and 19/5 Kindergarten, District 7, take children to historical sites, so that children can feel more deeply the lessons they have learned in school.

"During the journey to visit Ben Nha Rong, children can see Uncle Ho's statue, see pictures, artifacts, and documents about his life. There are letters written by Uncle Ho, pictures of Uncle Ho working in a small, simple house, and simple but profound sayings of Uncle Ho... Therefore, children's visit to Ben Nha Rong is not only an extracurricular activity but also brings many profound meanings in terms of historicaleducation and love for the country. This is a very meaningful activity in comprehensively educating children, helping them form good moral qualities from an early age", Ms. Phan Thi Hanh confided.
