SGGP Newspaper's program supports disadvantaged students in Lam Dong

On November 8, in Lieng S'Rohn Commune, Dam Rong District (Lam Dong Province), SGGP Newspaper and Thien Hanh Investment Corporation (Ho Chi Minh City) collaborated to present scholarships, educational tools, and equipment to the students of Lieng Sronh Primary School.

This event was part of the “Lighting Up Hope – Overcoming Difficulties to Go to School” program organized by SGGP Newspaper.

As part of the program, SGGP Newspaper, in cooperation with sponsors and local authorities, awarded 50 scholarships (each worth VND1 million) to recognize and encourage students facing challenging circumstances who have shown excellent academic performance.

Additionally, the program donated essential educational resources, including a set of marching parade drums, 12 computers, and two portable speakers, aimed at enhancing the quality of education at Lieng Sronh Primary School, with a total donation value of VND200 million.

Ms. Pham Thi Nguyen, Principal of Lieng Sronh Primary School, expressed her gratitude, saying, "Every gift, scholarship, and word of encouragement from the ‘Lighting Up Hope – Overcoming Difficulties to Go to School’ program, organized by SGGP Newspaper and its sponsors, brings warmth and meaningful support to our students. These invaluable gifts help ease their challenges, enabling them to focus on learning. Now, our students have an improved learning environment with access to computers and other essential tools, and teachers have better resources to enhance the quality of education at our school."

In the excitement of practicing marching parade drum rhythms on the new drum set, Vong Cam Khanh Ly, a fourth-grade student at Lieng Sronh Primary School, shared, “I’m so happy that now we can practice marching parade drum rhythms.”

Meanwhile, in the library, students were equally thrilled as they got acquainted with the new computers. Bui Duy Thanh, IT teacher at Lieng Sronh Primary School, explained, “Previously, the school had only a few computers, which meant 2-3 students had to share one. Since most students don’t have computers at home, their practice time was limited. With the new computer system provided by the program, students can start learning computer skills early, which will help them absorb knowledge more effectively.”

At the event, SGGP Deputy Editor-in-Chief Bui Thi Hong Suong stated, “We hope that this small gift will provide timely support to the students of Lieng Sronh Primary School, helping to encourage them to continue progressing on their educational journey.”

She also mentioned that since 2023, SGGP Newspaper has launched the "Lighting Up Hope – Overcoming Difficulties to Go to School" program. Since its inception, the program has visited numerous schools across the country, providing gifts, scholarships, and enhancing school libraries.

This program has a significant impact, caring for the physical, intellectual, and emotional development of children in remote and disadvantaged areas.
