Vietnam-France Friendship Association supports reading room project in Vinh Long

The Vietnam-France Friendship Association under the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations (VUFO) supports reading room project in Vinh Long.

Pham Van Be Ba - Principal of Luc Thanh A Primary School said that they has three satellite schools with 562 students and only one library is located at the main school, the two others have to rotate books every month.

The facilities, teaching equipment and books for students are lacking, not meeting the minimum requirements for the school activities. “The school had received bookshelves and bookcases. This meaningful gift will help students cultivate their knowledge and form a reading culture,” shared Ba.

According to Nguyen Thi Kim Anh - Chairman of the provincial Red Cross Society, from 2020 up to now, the the Vietnam-France Friendship Association has mobilized fund for four reading rooms for students in remote areas. The equipment and books for schools will create a useful playground to attract students to come after school, improve their knowledge, and learn about the world around them.

“And especially, through the reading room, we also want to form a reading habit for children, to foster positive thinking in the students. It is important that the role of the teacher, in addition to creating conditions for children to come to the reading room, must also be the instructor, the person who leads them to reading habits,” Anh stressed.
