At the event, a representative of the Vietnam Education Publishing House donated 18,946 books, including textbooks, workbooks, and exam preparation guides, with a total value of 276 million VND (10,465 USD). Specifically, 14,742 books were given to students in Song Ma commune; 226 books to Chieng Khoong commune; 2,808 books to Nam Ty commune; and 1,170 books to students at Muong Lan Secondary School.

Also at the event, the Northwestern Book and Equipment Service JSC presented 2,600 notebooks and 30 backpacks to students affected by the floods, with a total value of over 23 million VND.

This book donation is an annual initiative carried out by the VEPH and the Northwestern Book and Equipment Service JSC ahead of each new school year. It is part of the series of activities under the programme “Together Help Children Go to School”, with a special focus on supporting students in border areas, islands, remote and isolated regions, and areas affected by natural disasters and storms, as well as students from policy beneficiary families.

This initiative not only ensures students have the necessary textbooks for the new school year but also helps enrich the teaching and learning materials available in school libraries for both students and teachers.
