On the morning of September 13 – a day after new student Le Thi Hai Nguyen completed the admission process at the Foreign Trade University, the newspaper Youth It was decided to provide Nguyen with an elementary school relay scholarship so he could make ends meet during the difficult times.
Receiving a scholarship of 15 million VND, little girl Hai Nguyen had tears in her eyes: “I am so happy, I have never had such a large amount of money.”
“There are always good people around us”

Early in the morning, mother and daughter took their belongings from Thai Nguyen to Hanoi, carefully packed blankets, clothes, lamps… Mrs. Le Thi Toan (Nguyen’s mother) opened her heart, she tried to buy, her children Give equipment and supplies to the rural areas and then bring them to Hanoi because they fear that it will be expensive in the capital and it will be more expensive to buy things.
As soon as he arrived at school, Nguyen immediately completed the admissions procedures and registered for the dorms. But seeing the large number of new students registering, I expressed concern because I didn’t know whether I would be accepted here or not.
The journey to the capital was even more difficult for Nguyen and her mother as she not only had to pay for money and school supplies, but she also had to run around finding a place to live for her younger brother.
“Miss, Nguyen hasn’t registered for the dorm yet. We don’t know where to go now.” When Mrs. Tone called, we immediately found a place for mother and child to hang out.
In the afternoon, Nguyen and I contacted the Student Help Center of Foreign Trade University to seek help. Luck smiled on me when an official at the center came to know about Nguyen’s condition and wholeheartedly supported and guided Nguyen to register to stay in the hostel.
Last night, mother and daughter made arrangements and settled down, so that Nguyen could feel safe when going to the university lecture hall.
“I thank the teachers, dorm managers, and Tuoi Tre newspaper for helping me settle into the dorm on the first day of school. I’m grateful to have met so many nice people” – said Nguyen.

“Scholarships are a great source of encouragement”
share with tuoi tray onlineNguyen admitted that when he set out to attend the Foreign Trade University, both he and his mother were very hesitant because they were worried about how much money they would have to pay for their upcoming studies.
Nguyen said that it is very difficult for Nguyen and his mother to borrow such a large amount of money at this time, because the bank loan of 80 million VND has not yet been repaid.
My mother, Mrs. Tone, borrowed more than 10 million VND from her relatives, plus 5 million VND that she had been saving for a long time to “earn a living.” A total of 15 million VND, the mother and daughter brought with them to the capital for enrollment.
After paying tuition, hostel fees, health insurance… the mother and daughter’s “huge sum” was enough for Mrs. Tone to catch the bus back home. Seeing her mother’s hard-earned money “blowing away”, Nguyen became more concerned and loved her mother more.
“By receiving the Early School Relay Scholarship like this, my mother and I are very happy. It is a great source of encouragement for me to cover the cost of studying in Hanoi.
The next four years of school will probably be very difficult, but I believe that with effort and determination, I will succeed” – Nguyen stressed.
As soon as she received the scholarship money, Nguyen immediately sent it back to her mother so she could pay off the loan. The new student plans to try to work part-time in the near future to support her mother, and will also look for other sources of loans to be able to pay for the coming years of study.
On the bus back to Thai Nguyen, Ms. Le Thi Toan could not hide her joy when she received the news that her daughter had received the Relay to School scholarship from Tuoi Tre newspaper.
“This morning I woke up early and kept crying. I have never been away from mom for so long. I just hope you will try to study well and take care of your health. I thank all the well-wishers. “Want to thank you and uncle who helped.” My mother and I are in a difficult time” – Ms Tone was emotional.
Le Thi Hai Nguyen is a character in the megastory article “With her mother’s “two thousand” vegetables, Hai Nguyen went to university promising to be a kind person”, published in the Tuoi Tre online newspaper.
Born without his father’s love for the past 18 years, Nguyen grew up in his mother’s arms, under the protection of his grandparents and the care of his neighbors. It was the love of the people around her that sowed the seeds of kindness in the little girl’s heart.
Recently, Nguyen was admitted early to the Foreign Trade University (Hanoi). Before that, I passed the 10th grade entrance examination at Chu Van An High School (Thai Nguyen).
