Last weekend, a group of Royal City resident volunteers from Hanoi and close friends attended the inauguration ceremony of new classrooms of Don Sai Primary School in the northern mountainous province of Cao Bang.

The new facilities represent a total investment capital of VND800 million ($35,243).

With the help of friends and other donators, the group has completed the construction and handed over the new classrooms to teachers and students, who now have two more kindergarten classrooms, three more classrooms for primary level students, and two other multi-function classrooms equipped with tables, chairs, and other study facilities, a toilet, and an outdoor play area equipped with essential toys for students. Also at the inauguration ceremony, many practical gifts were presented to the students of this school.

In addition, as the school site is far from the province’s center, there is no power grid, so the group has donated solar power generators and cooking utensils to support the teachers to cook lunch for the students.

To reach the school site, the teachers and students had to travel long distances from the highway, passing through high hills and streams, so the group has also upgraded the road section linking to the highway.

"Looking at the finished school with its new classrooms and the fresh bright faces of the students, us volunteers and friends feel very happy. These are all important factors to help encourage students to go to school, despite the many remaining difficulties," said a representative of the group.
