Ms. Cham is the character in the article: "Teacher left lunch unfinished, woke up more than 200 students to avoid landslide disaster" published in Dan Tri newspaper on September 24.

On September 22, it was Ms. Cham's schedule to be on duty at the boarding school. At 12:25 that day, it was raining heavily in Trung Ly. Although she was having dinner with her family, she felt uneasy and worried about the students in the dormitory. She decided to skip dinner, take an umbrella and go to school to check on the situation.

Arriving at the school gate, Ms. Cham saw that the gate had collapsed. Looking up at the hill behind the dormitory, the ground was sliding down in patches. She panicked and ran into the dormitory, shouting for the students to run.

After Ms. Cham called, more than 200 students sleeping in the dormitory quickly left their rooms to avoid landslides.

More than 10 minutes later, hundreds of cubic meters of rock and soil from the hill behind crashed into the dormitory, destroying three rooms. The beds where the students had just slept were deformed, and the furniture in the room was displaced and severely damaged.

Thanks to the quick-wittedness, bravery and timely action of teacher Bui Thi Cham, 214 students of Trung Ly Boarding Ethnic Primary School and Secondary School were lucky to escape the landslide disaster.

Teacher Bui Thi Cham, from Cam Thuy district (Thanh Hoa), graduated with a degree in geography from Vinh University. She was a contract teacher at Trung Ly Boarding Ethnic Primary School and Secondary School for 3 years.

In May, Ms. Cham officially signed a contract with the People's Committee of Muong Lat district.
