Trang is one of many students at the school whose families suffered losses during the storm last September.

However, in recent years, the Party Committee and the District Government have always paid attention to education and training. In addition, with a population of mostly Mong ethnic people and poor living conditions, the district has implemented new farming models, developed organic agriculture... gradually changing the traditional farming practices of the people.
Mr. Hoang Truong Minh said, "The working group of the Journalists and Public Opinion Newspaper traveled hundreds of kilometers to the children in the highlands to give very practical and meaningful gifts, supporting the students and the people here to reduce difficulties in life... In the process of developing the district, building new rural areas, the district really needs the cooperation of the press agencies to help Cao Son homeland and Muong Khuong district in general continue to develop."
Although the gifts are small, they are the feelings and encouragement that the reporters of the Journalists and Public Opinion Newspaper send to the children, thereby spreading the spirit of mutual love.
On behalf of the delegation, journalist Vu Duc Dien, Deputy Secretary General of the Journalists and Public Opinion newspaper, thanked the leaders of Muong Khuong district, teachers and students of the school for their welcome to the delegation.
Journalist Vu Duc Dien shared that, in addition to political tasks, the "Green Dream" program of the Journalists and Public Opinion newspaper was born with a humanistic meaning to share and accompany children, students and university students in difficult circumstances.
Journalist Nguyen Mai Chi, Chief of Office of Journalists and Public Opinion Newspaper, presented gifts to students.
Initially, the program focused on disadvantaged students at universities, disadvantaged children with serious illnesses... then under the direction of the Vietnam Journalists Association's Board of Directors, the program was expanded to include children in mountainous and border areas, schools and school sites affected by natural disasters...
" Although the gifts are small, they are sentiments and words of encouragement sent to the children, thereby spreading the spirit of mutual love, especially sharing some of the difficulties of students and teachers in the highlands after the recent storms. With that spirit, Nha Bao and Cong Luan Newspapers coordinated with localities in Lao Cai province to present gifts to Coc Lau Primary School (Bac Ha district) and Cao Son Primary School (Muong Khuong district). And through today's gift-giving trip, we realize that the responsibility of us journalists is still very great, with many tasks to do in the coming time," journalist Vu Duc Dien shared.
