In late May, 2019, the social network Facebook posted information of a lost boy at his 11. The image of bewildered boy at dark night haunted many people. Via the social network, teacher Tran Thi Tap knew that he lived in the same commune as hers and contacted to all teachers and Association of Students’ Parents at the school to search for information about his family.

Teacher Tran Thi Tap hands over the bicycles to poor students from the donation of kind-hearted organizations and individuals.

With the support from Giap Van Trung, Head of the Association of Students’ Parents living at the same village with Cuong, teacher Tap knew that the boy has grandmother and mother but they must send him to Yen Lien pagoda in Minh Duc commune (Viet Yen district) due to the difficult circumstance.

“The boy was born in 2008, at the same age as my child but he cannot go to school and lived without family care for long time. So miserable!” shared Tap.

Thus, she discussed with Tung to ask Cuong’s grandmother and report to Viet Lap communal People’s Committee, district Division of Education and Training to pick him up from the pagoda to foster at the school.

Several relatives and neighbours said he is a naughty boy. Cuong even kept the bad habit and lifestyle at the initial stage at the school due to the lack of lovingness and teaching.

With the kindness of a mother and a teacher, Tap opened her arms to help him. She suggested the Administrative Board of the school to arrange a room for Cuong at the school and asked the guard to take an eye on him.

Personally, the Head Mistress closely cared for his meal, sleep as well as tenderly taught the boy from the smallest thing. Apart from the class curriculum, teacher Tap provided Cuong with life skill lessons.

He can join several courses of swimming, martial art, football clubs, chess...launched by the school free of charge. Particularly, the Head Mistress took him to enjoy the summer vacation with the teachers or her family to improve the living skill.

The lovingness, protection and teaching made Cuong become vivacious, obedient and sociable.

Teacher Tap joins voluntary blood donation campaign.

Acknowledging that the child care cannot be guaranteed as the regulation of the Law of Children if Cuong stays at the school, the Women’s Association at all levels actively engaged and coordinated with the Division of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, communal People’s Committee, school and agencies to persuade his grandmother to pick him up to raise at home with the support from others, including teacher Tap. The school still provides lunches and studying tools for Cuong.

Thanks to the support from the collectives and individuals, after paying for the studying cost, teacher Tap made a saving fund for Cuong for later study. Knowing Tap’s good deed, the authorities, sectors and localities joined hands to present him bicycle and studying tool.

The naughty boy in the past now becomes good student at class 3A adored by teachers and friends.

Apart from Cuong, teacher Tap also supports many difficult students, actively appeals and donates to the local charity and humanity activities.
