Kindergarten teachers in Hue climb onto corrugated iron roofs to brace against storm No. 5

On the morning of August 24, even though it was a day off, at Xuan Loc Kindergarten (Hung Loc Commune, Hue City), teachers temporarily put aside their usual image of "pink girls" with weak limbs to roll up their sleeves, climb onto the corrugated iron roof, and reinforce the school in anticipation of the complicated forecast of storm No. 5.

Following the direction of the Commune People's Committee leaders on proactively preventing storm No. 5, from 7:00 a.m., Ms. Tran Thi Khuyen, Principal of Xuan Loc Kindergarten, and 34 teachers were present at the school.

As the school is located in a mountainous area with many trees, the first task that the kindergarten teachers quickly carried out was to prune tree branches that were at risk of falling.

The most impressive image was when the teachers did not hesitate to climb onto the corrugated iron roof to reinforce the school. They used plastic bags, pumped water into them and placed them on the corrugated iron roof, creating weight and effectively supporting the roof.

To prepare for storm No. 5, Ha Tinh residents reinforce their roofs with water-filled plastic bags.

Sharing about this work, Ms. Tran Thi Khuyen said that although she and many teachers at home have not had time to prepare anything for their families, school is very important. "We have to make sure that when the storm passes, the children can go to class right away," Ms. Khuyen emphasized.

Ms. Mai Thi Mong Lanh, Secretary of the Youth Union of Xuan Loc Kindergarten, who has just finished reinforcing the corrugated iron roof, confided: "I read that storm No. 5 will be very strong, so I am also worried, but to be at ease, the response work must be ensured first. After finishing my work at school, I will return home with my family to prepare for the storm."

Although many teachers live far away, when assigned tasks, they did not hesitate and worked together. Thanks to their high sense of responsibility, by noon of the same day, the proactive response to storm No. 5 at this school was basically completed.
