Teacher and student we met again at a class reunion - Photo: LTT
Summer is the time when many groups organize meetings to "review the past and learn from the present", but as Tuoi Tre Online reported, there have been opinions, some people have asked the question "What is the purpose of a class reunion? Should we wait until we are successful to have a class reunion, or should we have a class reunion every year?".
According to reader Nguyen Hoang Lan, the purpose of a class reunion is up to each person. If they find it necessary, they should participate, otherwise, they shouldn't.
"Returning to the class reunion is like returning to school days, everyone relives their innocent and joyful school days," reader Hoa Ngoc Lan added.
To add another perspective, Tuoi Tre Online introduces the sharing of reader Le Tan Thoi (An Giang) around this controversial opinion.
Student support fund born from class reunion
For me, the stories about teachers and friends that remain are the meaningful stories of former students, through class reunions.
I still remember one time a friend in the group told a story about the examples of students overcoming difficulties and studying well at the school he used to attend, making everyone in the group feel moved, some couldn't hold back their tears.
They are orphans who have to fend for themselves in the hustle and bustle of life; they are poor students who, because of their poor family background, have to rush into life to earn a living...
Their childhood does not have pretty toys, cute dolls, sweet cakes... but is a series of hard days struggling to make a living but always striving to do their best in studying.
Hearing those real stories, a friend in the group suggested: "Let's join hands to help these children!"
So that idea was approved by everyone!
Without anyone telling them, the whole group voluntarily donated to form the Fund to support poor students overcoming difficulties until today .
Connect and spread
When the Fund to Support Poor Students Overcoming Difficulties was established, everything seemed to stop there. Unexpectedly, after the class reunion, through social networks, friends from far away who could not attend also enthusiastically supported the call of the group of former students.
Thanks to that, we had a small fund to give gifts to students at the beginning of the new school year - health insurance cards, uniforms, textbooks...
Each person has a job, we contact the school to get a list of students who will receive support. The criteria of the group is: Support must be real and appropriate to the situation.
With the help of the school, especially the homeroom teachers who go to each house to verify each case, the support always reaches the right address and meets the set criteria.
On the day of the scholarship award ceremony, looking at the joyful eyes of the children when receiving the gifts, although small but full of meaning, the whole group felt warm. The influence from the online community is wonderful.
How fun it is when the class reunion is a place to connect golden hearts for charity work.
The fund to support poor students overcoming difficulties later received additional support from friends living and working abroad.
Now, every time the school year starts or Tet comes, friends prepare gifts, scholarships... from mobilized funds to help students overcome difficulties.
With people who share the same idea and thanks to the online community, we have contributed our small part to help students in difficult circumstances so that they have more determination on the path of education.
Thank you so much for the meaningful and humane class reunions.
These class reunions have given me more positive energy in the first days of the new school year, and furthermore, more motivation to pursue my teaching career.
