Green after the storm

Two days after storm Trami (storm number 6) passed, many residential areas in Quang Nam - Da Nang (old) were still in disarray: trees were broken, schools were destroyed, and beaches were covered in trash.

In that scene, the image of soldiers in green uniforms working together with people to overcome the consequences of the storm has become a vivid proof of the spirit of "the army and the people have one will". Every action, no matter how small, contributes to restoring the green color to schools, roads and the homeland's sea and islands. The photo series not only captures precious moments after the natural disaster but also spreads the message of compassion, sharing and responsibility to protect the environment - beautiful values ​​that need to be preserved in every heart.
