VIETCOM Accompanies Students in the Highlands of Lao Cai

Vietcom accompanies VAET&SOW in presenting 518 meaningful gifts to underprivileged students in Lao Cai

To mark the beginning of the new academic year, on August 28, 2024, the Vietnam Association for Vocational Education and Social Work (VAET&SOW), in collaboration with Lao Cai College and with the accompaniment of Vietcom, delivered joy and hope to 518 students of Tan Tien Primary Boarding School and Tan Tien Secondary Boarding School in Bao Yen District, Lao Cai Province.

Each gift presented to the students includes essential textbooks and school supplies, which not only serve as a backpack of knowledge but also as a valuable spiritual gift, providing them with renewed faith and motivation to confidently step into the new school year and nurturing their dreams of overcoming challenges and striving for success.

The event became particularly meaningful with the participation of talented young artist Chu Nhat Quang, an active member of the association. Driven by his love for art and a desire to spread the passion for creativity, Chu Nhat Quang brought a unique experience to the students: a painting workshop right in the schoolyard. Under his dedicated guidance, from the first brushstrokes to basic techniques, the students had the opportunity to explore the vibrant world of painting, awakening their latent love for art and creativity.

Simultaneously, an art exhibition featuring more than 10 paintings by artist Chu Nhat Quang was held in the schoolyard, drawing the attention and enthusiasm of both students and teachers. The unique artworks, harmoniously blending traditional art with contemporary influences, created a refreshing artistic space, offering students a richer and deeper appreciation of the beauty of painting. The interactive event truly brought joy, stimulated imagination, and encouraged the students to confidently express their own talents.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Nguyen Tung Son, Principal of Tan Tien Secondary Boarding School, shared emotionally: “The program has brought our students not only valuable gifts but also tremendous spiritual encouragement. Particularly, the art workshop led by artist Chu Nhat Quang has opened a new horizon, allowing our students to experience art for the first time in a practical and inspiring way. We sincerely thank the deep care and collaboration from the Association, Lao Cai College, and Vietcom for coming together to create such a meaningful activity.”

Mr. Nguyen The Manh, Deputy Secretary-General of the Vietnam Association for Vocational Education and Social Work, emphasized: “The mission of the Association is to support and provide better opportunities for disadvantaged students across the country. We believe that these gifts, though modest, will encourage the students to strive harder in their studies and personal growth. Meaningful and humanitarian activities like this serve as bridges of love, inspiring and motivating the students to rise above challenges in life.”

Accompanying the Association on this charitable journey, VIETCOM not only played the role of a sponsor but also demonstrated a profound sense of social responsibility and commitment in supporting young talents and spreading humanitarian values to the community. The combination of providing practical gifts and the meaningful artistic activities led by artist Chu Nhat Quang created a complete celebration, nurturing knowledge while igniting a passion for art in the students of the highland region.

With a spirit of sharing and practical actions, VIETCOM and its partners believe that: “Every small gesture of care has the power to bring about great change. The first brushstrokes today not only paint the dreams of these students but also serve as the beginning of a bright future, where art and compassion blend to build a fair, beautiful society rich in humanitarian values.”
