HELPING YOUR COMMUNITY
By Nguyen Mai
The students at Nguyen Van Troi School are now preparing
Christmas gifts for students with disabilities in Ho Chi Minh City.
We have asked three energetic class monitors about how they
plan to make this Christmas unforgettable for theirs friends with
disabilities. Here are their answers.


1-

Friends’ support brings joy

“We believe that students with disabilities should be offered support to do the
things they like,” said Huynh Mai Lien, the monitor of Class 11A. After their
visit to a specific school, Lien made friends with some students with reading
disabilities. She realized that they enjoy reading as much as she does. So she has
decided to record popular books for these students. “I hope they’ll enjoy
listening to these talking books over the Christmas holidays!” said Lien

enthusiastically.

HAPPINESS COMES FROM GIVING TO OTHERS

“A gift for everyone!” is the campaign slogan of Class 11B, led by Tran
Nam. “We’ve agreed to involve disabled students in our Santa Claus
activities for children in the neighborhood, “Even if some of them have
mobility impairments, they can still dress up as Santa Claus and help to
give gifts to the kids. “Giving makes people happy and useful. People with
a disability can still participate fully in our community’s life!” said Nam.


3. SET A RECORD ON CHRISTMAS DAY

“We want to make a special Yule Log cake. People have already started donating
money, so we can buy all the ingredients,” said Hoa, the monitor of Class 11C.
“Everyone has a problem, no one is perfect. With the support of the students from
the special school, we think we can create something amazing,” Hoa added. Her
class want to make a “record-breaking” Yule Log cake: the longest ever and
created by the most students. “On Christmas Day, we will invite all the kids in the
neighborhood to join our Christmas party and make the longest Yule Log!”
