Phu Yen Center for Supporting the Development of Inclusive Education (Tuy Hoa City, Phu Yen) is a place that educates children with disabilities. Here, a rural market takes place on Tet holiday, selling products made by the students and teachers of the center.
Hope the children feel the Tet atmosphere
Early in the morning, the "little traders" were busy trading without stopping. Unlike the bustling Tet markets filled with the laughter of buyers and sellers, here people communicate with each other using sign language. Talking less, understanding more, everyone is happy to give and receive.
The market has 10 stalls selling cakes and jams made by students and teachers.
The market took place from January 19-31, with the participation of 115 students at the center and 10 booths selling a variety of products. In addition to direct sales, the market also sold online. Thanks to everyone's interest and support, the Tet rural market at the Phu Yen Center for Supporting the Development of Inclusive Education sold very well.
The small stalls are built from bamboo, covered with simple thatched roofs, and decorated eye-catchingly, imbued with the atmosphere of the old Tet market. Traditional country cakes such as: Poria cocos, pancakes, ginger jam, coconut jam, green rice cakes or pickled vegetables, pickled onions, and Tet sausages... with prices ranging from 15,000 to 100,000 VND/dish.
People here communicate with each other using sign language, and everyone is happy to give and receive.
"We were born with many disadvantages. We sympathize with the children, so we really want to create an environment for them to be happy. Recreating the old rural market with the hope that the children will feel the Tet atmosphere, experience buying and selling activities, know how to give change to customers; at the same time, practice communication skills as well as practice the skills they learn in class. In addition, we also let the children experience making cakes and jams at school. The children really enjoy it," said Ms. Le Thi Thu Hong, head teacher of Skill 2 class.
School is fun!
To create a truly authentic rural market, teachers and students at the center had previously cut bamboo, picked leaves, cut grass, woven straw, and personally set up the market and arranged stalls. These activities gave the children the most authentic experience of the bustling atmosphere of the days before Tet.
Mr. Dang Ngoc Thanh (Dang Minh Tuan's parent) shared: "This is the first year my child has studied at the center. When he came home, he bragged that he had a lot of fun at school. Taking my child to school, seeing the school decorate the Tet market for the children to experience, I am very grateful for the school's attention. This is not only a place for children to study but also a place for community activities, contact, exchange, practice the skills they have learned to improve and integrate into the community."
In addition to selling, children are also instructed and experience making fabric flowers, baking, and writing calligraphy.
The fair attracted a large number of supporters.
Ms. To Thi Thu Hang, Director of Phu Yen Center for Supporting the Development of Inclusive Education, said that this is the first year the center has organized a reenactment of the old rural market, creating an environment for children to practice skills.
"The revenue from the market sales will be used to give lucky money to the children, small gifts to celebrate the new year and the new year to the students. On this occasion, the center also coordinated with volunteer units to organize making banh chung for the children to take home for Tet," Ms. Hang added.
