At Tran Hung Dao Primary School (Cau Ong Lanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City), the fund to support people affected by natural disasters is open until September 15 for all staff, teachers, employees and students of the school with voluntary contributions.

"This morning I brought 30,000 VND of my savings to support people affected by the storm and flood. We hope that our friends in the flood-affected areas will soon overcome these difficulties," Thanh Ngoc, a student in class 2/7 at Tran Hung Dao Primary School, said emotionally.

Sharing about the campaign to support flood victims right after the opening ceremony, Ms. Le Thanh Huong - the school's principal - said that over the years, the school has always shared the losses, pain, and difficulties of the people, especially students in flood-affected areas.

"Students go to school to learn to read and write, to learn to be human, to multiply good things, kindness... Through supporting flood victims, I believe that they will multiply the spirit of mutual love and support. That spirit is the source for them to know how to share, to care for, to love and to make more progress in their studies and work," Ms. Huong emphasized.

Also at the opening ceremony on the morning of September 5, Nguyen Van To Secondary School, Dien Hong Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, mobilized all staff, teachers, employees, parents and students of the school to support people affected by recent storms and floods and started opening a donation fund from September 8.

Similarly, Le Van Tam Secondary School, Gia Dinh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City also launched and opened a fund to support people in flood-hit areas for the school's staff, teachers, employees, parents and students from September 8.

"In recent days, people in many provinces in the Central region have continuously encountered difficulties, damage and losses due to natural disasters and floods, so this year's opening ceremony is different from previous years. This year, the school does not accept congratulatory flowers. The school wants students to be imbued with the spirit of sharing and caring for their fellow countrymen, so it has launched a fund to support flood victims," ​​said Ms. Pham Thi Thuy, the school's principal.

At Nguyen Binh Khiem Primary School, Saigon Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, on September 3, a fund to support flood victims was opened for parents, staff, teachers and employees to contribute. On the morning of September 5, the school did not accept congratulatory flowers and launched a campaign to support flood victims to all students in the school.

"Sharing with people's losses is a highly educational activity for students. Therefore, the school has opened a fund to support flood victims, while also teaching students to love and care for each other, to appreciate and cultivate what they have," said Ms. Do Ngoc Chi, the school's principal.

At Tran Huy Lieu Secondary School, Duc Nhuan Ward, after attending the opening ceremony of the new school year and the 80th anniversary of the education sector, Ms. Phan Thi Thanh Phuong - member of the Party Committee, Secretary of the Duc Nhuan Ward Party Committee - and the teachers donated to support people affected by storms No. 4 and No. 5, contributing to spreading the spirit of charity.
