Speaking at the City Party Committee Hall, Do Minh Tri was moved: "I myself am an orphan. I am very happy that the person who sponsored my scholarship is Mr. Nguyen Khanh Dang, who is also a student who received the Association's Encouragement Scholarship. We understand that although our circumstances are challenging, with perseverance and effort, we can completely overcome them. As the famous saying goes, 'We cannot choose where we are born, but we can choose how we live'. We will not let circumstances shape our future."
The new student of the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City, said that receiving the Talent Encouragement Scholarship is not only a great honor but also a strong source of motivation for Tri and other students to continue to strive.
"We, students with difficult circumstances, all have dreams and burning ambitions. Each of us has our own circumstances, but we all share a common determination: to overcome obstacles to go to school, study and build a bright future. It is an honor to be one of the students receiving the Encouragement Scholarship, and this is a great source of motivation, helping us believe in ourselves and constantly develop. The care and enthusiasm of our teachers make us clearly feel the power of faith and hope, lighting up the path we are on," Do Minh Tri expressed.

Since 2005, when he graduated and started working, Mr. Khanh Dang has awarded many scholarships to disadvantaged students, who were like him in the past.
Mr. Khanh Dang shared with Thanh Nien Newspaper reporter: "I have received love and care from Ngoc's mother and I continue to send love to the students, so that they can confidently step into life, and in the future they will send scholarships to other students. That is also the good tradition of 'followers', 'bringing the younger generation to follow' of the Talent Encouragement Scholarship - 1&1 Scholarship of Ho Chi Minh City Association for Promoting Education".
Mrs. Minh Ngoc - Ngoc's mother - of many generations of students this year continues to award many Talent Encouragement scholarships to students.
