Mr. Vo Trung Manh, Chairman of Tu Mo Rong District People's Committee said that Tu Mo Rong district is a poor district and 95 percent of the local population is Xo Dang ethnic group. Over the years, the district has mobilized financial resources to invest in educational infrastructure such as building schools, libraries, and canteens.
Poor students were seen to bring simple meals for lunch without meat so the district authority has encouraged schools to mobilize resources for free meals for students as well as plant vegetables and raise pigs and chickens to have good meals. In response to the authority’s appeal, schools have cooked lunches for students for about three years. This has helped prevent students from dropping out of schools; thereby, gradually improving the quality of education.
Thanks to the articles in the newspaper, readers across the country donated more than VND 130 million to Dak Ha Primary School. In addition, the newspaper also called for donations of 2.2 tons of rice to five other schools. This support is expected to help schools maintain the provision of free lunch for students.
Previously, SGGP Online Newspaper published a story that students in Tu Mo Rong District went to school in the morning, go home at noon, and didn’t return to their schools in the afternoon because they live far away from schools.
The People's Committee in the district has called for schools to mobilize resources to cook lunch for free. Schools responded to the authority’s appeal by donating their own money or selling pigs raised by teachers.
After the story of teachers selling pigs to get money to provide free meals for poor students went viral, it impressed readers who donated money to schools for maintaining this good deed.
