In a needy village, which lies along the Vietnam-China border in Nam Ban commune, Sin Ho district, Lai Chau province, there are five tents built along a stream where 40 kids from mountainous villages board to study.
These children come from poor, remote villages in Lai Chau. Most of them are H’mong people whose houses are a 6-8-hour walk from the school. They are 5th and 8th grade pupils.
Every week, kids return home to take rice. All the year round, their food is rice, salt, wild vegetables, dried fish and some small fishes caught in the nearby stream.
H’mong people currently know how to plant cardamom, till the field, breed cows and goats but many people are illiterate. H’mong parents tell their children to try to study to return home and teach villagers to read, write and calculate numbers.
