Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City (IUH) has urgently provided teaching equipment and student uniforms to Dong Khoi Secondary School in Hoa Thinh commune, Dak Lak province (formerly Phu Yen ).

The school's working group set off on the evening of December 4, bringing 100 sets of student desks and chairs, 12 computers, and 300 new school uniforms for students of the above school.

IUH students help transport tables, chairs, and equipment onto trucks to transport to the Central region.

All of these uniforms were designed and made by students of the school's Faculty of Garment and Fashion Technology with the support of businesses and alumni.

Secretary of the Youth Union Le Van Hoang said Dong Khoi Secondary School is one of the schools heavily affected by the recent historic floods.

"IUH hopes to contribute a small part to help students stabilize their studies, while also reducing some of the difficulties in facilities after natural disasters. This is also an opportunity for students to experience, understand and spread the spirit of responsibility to the community.

We tried to leave that night to promptly support the school to help students return to class soon after the natural disaster," Mr. Hoang shared.

Before departure, IUH students assisted in dismantling, packing, and loading 100 sets of tables and chairs. At the destination, local students were also present to assist with reception and installation to shorten the time for arranging classrooms.

Equipment transportation is coordinated with HTL Transport Company to ensure goods arrive in Dak Lak as soon as possible.

During the journey, the group received support from the Ho Chi Minh City traffic police force, helping vehicles to circulate safely and promptly, so the group completed assembling computers and tables and chairs to hand over to Dong Khoi Secondary School on December 5.
