The students expressed there feeling: Today, we are here to receive the care and affections from the school, uncles and aunties from the Hanoi's Vietnam - Cambodia friendship Association and Women's Union. It is a priceless encouragement for students who are studying faraway from home like us.

The students were touched by the affection of the Hanoi Women's Union and the city's Vietnam - Cambodia Friendship Association who visited and offered scholarships on the occasion of the new school year; and promise to pursue their studies energetically; at the same time, cultivate the friendship and solidarity of the two countries.

In the face of the pandemic situation, the school still ensures an online learning environment and safe dormitory for students. Currently, 100% of them have had 2 doses of Covid-19 vaccine. However, living far from home, students cannot avoid homesickness, missing their parents and families. That's why when being visited and encouraged by the Women's Union, the students feel like they are, like the mothers and sisters.

For many years, all activities of the school have always received the attention, companionship, sharing and encouragement of women, mothers, and officers of the Hanoi Women's Union, Phuong added.
