I have an acquaintance who participates in the "Donate Rice to Feed Children" fund. Every month, she regularly sends a few hundred thousand dong to buy rice and food for a child at a school in a remote area.

The other day, she boasted: "My 'adopted child' has grown up so much, and even received a certificate for excellent academic performance at the end of last school year."

The foster mother was delighted to see her child grow up so fast.

The adopted girl was selected through applications submitted from the school to an online forum.

For several months, the "foster mother" receives updates on her child's academic progress, pictures of her child playing and engaging in activities; when needed, she can connect by phone with the homeroom teacher to get updates on the child's academic situation, and if she can arrange the time, she can even visit to see how the child and her friends have grown up…

With a sincere heart, all barriers and distances cease to be obstacles.

When trust is built on transparency, help becomes more sustainable and widespread. Small contributions add up to a large sum, as long as those with sincere hearts believe that their good deeds are truly effective. And in the age of technology, kindness can spread even faster through "digitalization."

The Party and the State are striving to provide the best for future generations. Public schools offer free tuition, while private schools receive tuition subsidies. Many localities maintain free lunch programs…

However, it's impossible to solve all problems with state budgets. So many hardships, so many sorrows, so many life stories can only be compensated by compassionate hearts and voluntary contributions.

For many years, there have been countless quiet acts of kindness: "Supporting Students to School," "Helping Children Reach School," "Loving Leaves," "Supporting Students During Exams," "Lighting Up Dreams"... These programs share one common goal: to keep dreams alive, to illuminate the journey of knowledge for these children.

A bright future awaits thanks to the "Supporting Students to School" scholarship.

Helping a poor student attend school today is contributing another brick to building a solid foundation for the country's future. A child receiving an education not only changes their own life but can also change the future of a family and a whole community.

Therefore, student support programs need to be sustained with perseverance and the belief that every contribution—no matter how small—is meaningful.

A company allocates scholarship funds for the children of its workers. A locality establishes a scholarship fund for underprivileged students who overcome difficulties. An individual contributes a small amount of financial and intellectual resources to support education .

Le Kim Hoang Vy, an orphaned student from Lam Dong province, lives with her ailing grandmother and her future is uncertain without the help of compassionate hearts.

The Tuoi Tre newspaper's "Supporting Students to School" scholarship program has helped this poor student pursue her dream of studying to become a nurse so she can care for sick people like her grandmother.

Dang Van Thuan, from Quang Ngai province, lost his father to cancer and his mother is seriously ill. This filial boy, who diligently raised chickens to save money for his mother's cancer treatment, is now a mechanical engineering student at Da Nang University of Technology. Poverty and hardship haven't ended, but the path ahead has brightened with hope thanks to the " Supporting Students to School " scholarship ...

Fostering a love of learning and a desire for self-improvement.

For underprivileged students, material support is important but not enough. Equally important is nurturing a love of learning, self-respect, and a desire to succeed. In many places, student volunteer clubs have become an excellent bridge.

They not only give gifts and scholarships, but also organize charity classes, teach life skills, and read books, listen to music, and tell stories with the children. This is how they nurture dreams with both intellect and emotion, so that the seeds of learning can grow in an environment of human kindness.

Joining hands to nurture dreams – it sounds simple, but it's a profound message about responsibility and compassion. Because in a world of unpredictable changes, the most enduring thing is still kindness. When we help a child go to school, we're not just giving money, but giving opportunities, giving hope, and giving a better future for the entire community.

What is truly admirable is that many of these young boys and girls, having grown up, have always remembered the kindness of life and are determined to give back to help others. Happiness spreads as dreams are nurtured by the knowledge and hearts of so many kind Vietnamese people.

Joining hands to nurture dreams is joining hands to sow seeds for the future. And when the seeds of compassion sprout in every heart, this country will never run out of hope.
