Spring arrives at the "Scholarship Home"

"The 'Scholarship Home' program is a meaningful initiative implemented by the Provincial Association for the Promotion of Learning for many years. It serves as a bridge connecting benefactors to support the construction of decent homes, providing motivation and encouragement for underprivileged but studious students to overcome difficulties and strive for success. This spring, many students in the province celebrated Tet (Lunar New Year) in their new, spacious homes, filled with warmth and kindness."

Leaders of the Provincial Association for the Promotion of Learning, representatives of JNTC VINA Co., Ltd., and delegates visited the study corner at the handover ceremony of the "Home for the Promotion of Learning" to the family of Nguyen Kim Thanh in Group 2B, Phong Chau Street, Bach Hac Ward, Viet Tri City.

This Tet holiday, the joy of Nguyen Kim Thanh (a 7th grade student at Bach Hac Secondary School) is multiplied as his family celebrates Tet in their new home. Although from a poor family in Group 2B, Phong Chau Street, Bach Hac Ward, Viet Tri City, he has always strived to overcome difficulties and excel in his studies. The "Scholarship Home" is a great reward for his continuous efforts and dedication to learning.

Born into a family facing extreme hardship, Thanh's father, Nguyen Kim Tuan, has suffered from mental illness for many years. Since his father's illness, his mother's health has deteriorated, yet she remains the primary breadwinner. Sympathizing with Thanh's family's plight, the Provincial and City Education Promotion Associations mobilized benefactors and sponsors to support the construction of a "Scholarship Shelter" for the family.

Construction of the house began in October 2024. After just over two months of construction, the "Scholarship Home" was completed, boasting a spacious 70m2 area and a total construction cost of 272 million VND. It is known that the new house was built with the support of many charitable organizations, including the Provincial and Viet Tri City Associations for the Promotion of Learning and JNTC ViNa Co., Ltd., which contributed 150 million VND, and the City Fatherland Front Committee, which contributed 40 million VND. The remaining amount was provided by relatives and family members. In addition, Bach Hac ward, along with various departments, organizations, schools, and the Tam Giang Temple Management Board, provided household items. On January 7th, 2025, the Provincial and Viet Tri City Associations for the Promotion of Learning held a handover ceremony for the family.

Sharing her feelings about being in her new house, still smelling of fresh paint, Nguyen Kim Thanh still couldn't believe it was real. Overwhelmed with joy, she shared: "This will be a Tet holiday I will never forget, because from now on, my family won't have to worry every time it rains or storms. I love my house very much, a beautiful, sturdy, and warm house. I also received many new school supplies and desks and chairs. These are incredibly precious gifts, and they motivate me to continue studying to achieve even higher academic results."

Representatives of the sponsors and delegates at the inauguration and handover ceremony of the "Scholarship Shelter" house to the family of Nguyen Sinh Hung (a 6th grade student at Tien Du Secondary School) in Zone 4, Gia Thanh commune, Phu Ninh district.

Like Thanh, Nguyen Sinh Hung (a 6th grade student at Tien Du Secondary School) lives in Zone 4, Gia Thanh Commune, Phu Ninh District, and comes from a very difficult family background. His father left when Hung and his siblings were young, and his mother single-handedly worked tirelessly to raise and educate them. Understanding his mother's hardships, Hung is determined to compensate her with his academic achievements. For many years, Hung has been an excellent student, loved by his teachers and classmates. The house where Hung and his mother live, previously given to them by his maternal grandmother, is in serious disrepair.

In that situation, the Provincial Association for the Promotion of Learning and the Phu Ninh District Association for the Promotion of Learning appealed for sponsorship from many agencies and organizations, with the hope of building a new house for Hung's family. And that wish came true when construction began in September 2024.

After more than 3 months of construction, the spacious new house, covering an area of ^​​80m² , has been completed. It includes a living room, four bedrooms, a kitchen, and a tiled courtyard. The total construction cost was over 317 million VND, of which the Provincial Education Promotion Association and JNTC VINA Co., Ltd. contributed 150 million VND, along with many valuable items such as tables, chairs, books, and school supplies.

Hung emotionally expressed: “With a new house, my family's life is no longer as difficult as before. I am very grateful for the care and assistance from leaders at all levels, the Provincial and City Education Promotion Associations, philanthropists, and community organizations that have supported my family. I will try my best to study hard and achieve even higher academic results.”

With the new spring approaching, in the "Scholarship Homes," seeing the happy smiles on the radiant faces of underprivileged students serves as a source of motivation for those working in the field of education promotion.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Chung, Vice President of the Provincial Association for the Promotion of Learning, stated: “The ‘Shelter for Learning’ is a gift for students from poor families and families facing extreme difficulties, but who have shown great effort and determination to overcome challenges and achieve high academic results. This is not only a material gift but also a gift of great spiritual significance, demonstrating the care and concern of the community for the families of students in difficult circumstances, helping them to stabilize their lives and continue striving in labor and production to better care for their children's education and training. It is also a gift to encourage and motivate poor and disadvantaged students, creating confidence and confidence for them to excel in their studies and training, and to continue pursuing their dreams and aspirations.”
