Ms. Chi affirmed that the school and teachers will continue to provide additional support to Duong during his studies, especially in areas where he faces difficulties due to limited vision.

The school hopes that Duong, like other students in difficult circumstances, will try to overcome the immediate obstacles, maintain their study spirit and continue to go to school. The companionship of teachers, family and community will be the motivation for them not to drop out of school," Ms. Chi said.

The continuous support from readers, schools and the community not only helps Duong's family have more conditions to take care of medicine and study, but also lets him know that on the journey to school, he is not alone.
