The program "Helping children go to school" of the Vietnamese border guards for orphans and disadvantaged children of Laos in the program "Exchange of political work and young officers of the two armies of Vietnam and Laos - Red and one belief" recently took place in Moc Chau district, Son La province, leaving many emotions for the viewers.
This is a special content within the framework of the 2nd "Vietnam - Laos Border Defense Friendship Exchange", jointly organized by the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense and the Lao Ministry of National Defense.
Happy to be sponsored by Vietnamese border guards
Nang Tun Pheng Kham Si, an 11th grade student at Xi Bun Hau High School, Sop Bau District, Hua Phan Province, Laos, attended the program with a smile full of happiness when meeting the green-shirted soldiers of the Vietnamese border guards. Nang Tun Pheng Kham Si comes from a particularly difficult family situation and is one of the Lao students who was sponsored by the Vietnamese border guards since she was in elementary school. Now she is a charming high school girl.
With choked emotions, little Nang Tun pheng kham si always said thank you to the Vietnamese border guards. She was happy when the Vietnamese border guards encouraged her, helped her go to school like her friends, lighting up hope for a bright future.
The two Ministers of Defense of Vietnam and Laos awarded 100 "Helping children go to school" scholarships to students of the two countries at the program.
Also sponsored by the border guards is Luong Van San, a 9th grade student from Muong Xum village, Muong Et district, Hua Phan province, Laos - a border area of Muong Lan Border Guard Station. Luong Van San was born into a family with very difficult circumstances but always had a studious spirit. Since 2017, Muong Lan Border Guard Station has sponsored Luong Van San, with a support level of 500,000 VND/month. Since then, not letting down the care and sponsorship of the Vietnamese border guards, the boy Luong Van San has always had increasingly improved academic performance.
I still remember, in the 2012-2022 school year, due to the Covid-19 epidemic, officers and soldiers of Muong Lan Border Guard Station could not go directly to Luong Van San's house to encourage and visit. However, Muong Lan Border Guard Station still organized to encourage and give gifts to San and his family including: Cash, clothes, shoes and some household items at milestone 187, Muong Lan commune, Sop Cop district, Son La province. That is a mark of the warmth of the Vietnamese border guards forever engraved in the heart of the boy San, helping him have more motivation to overcome difficulties and excel in his studies.
A living proof of solidarity and friendship between the Vietnamese and Lao peoples
According to the Border Guard Command of Son La province, implementing the program "Helping children go to school - Adopted children of border guards", from 2016 to now, the Border Guard of Son La province has sponsored more than 80 students with difficult circumstances, no place to rely on, orphans from primary to high school in the border area. Among them, many are students from Laos in the border area with difficult and disadvantaged circumstances such as Nang Tun pheng kham si and Luong Van San to go to school.

“In particular, stemming from the solidarity and friendship between the two brotherly countries Vietnam and Laos over the past many years, Vietnamese border guard units have sponsored many Lao students in the program “Helping children go to school - Adopted children of the Border Guard Station”. All children are supported with 500,000 VND/month until they finish grade 12. In addition to financial support, border guard units also donated many notebooks, pens, school bags, clothes and bicycles, helping many Lao children in border areas have more opportunities to study and improve their lives. This is also a vivid proof of the solidarity and friendship between the two peoples of Vietnam and Laos that will forever be eternal, close and shared” – Political Commissar of the Vietnamese Border Guard affirmed.
