This year's destination was Thanh Son Primary School, Thanh Son Commune, Quan Hoa District, Thanh Hoa Province. As Thanh Son Village is located in a remote and underprivileged area of Thanh Hoa Province, its people face many life adversities. Consequently, the infrastructure of schools in this region has not received adequate investment. After conducting surveys, RongViet decided to select Thanh Hoa as the next stop on the "Accompanying to School – Realizing Dreams" programme. 

The 12th "Journey to School - Nurturing Dreams" programme was very honoured to welcome

The financial support for the programme was indispensably contributed by the RongViet's leaders, the staff and numerous philanthropists who donated both in kind and cash. RongViet's Trade Union collaborated with the school and local authorities to deliver gifts to the school and its students, including: 

• 2 classrooms with a total construction value of VND 450 million.
• 20 sets of desks and chairs for students and teachers, worth around VND 28 million.

• Small bookshelves contributed by the children of the company's employees. 

Furthermore, during the gift-giving ceremony, RongViet, on behalf of the Angel Charity Fund - ACF, which was funded by Clients and RongViet's staff, donated 10 new Asus All-in-One desktop computers worth VND 90 million to Nam Dong Ethnic Boarding Secondary School. 

On behalf of the company's leadership and all of RongViet employees, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Huyen - Member of the Board of Directors cum CEO, shared a few words about the programme: "In our mission to 'Build a prosperous future,' alongside caring for the livelihoods of our employees and ensuring the interests of our shareholders, RongViet always fulfils its duty to contribute to Vietnam's economy and shares its responsibility with the community through numerous annual volunteer activities." 

"This year marks the 12th time that RongViet has organised the 'Accompanying to School – Realizing Dreams' programme, and it's also the first time RongViet has come to Thanh Hoa province. Thanks to the support and guidance of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and RongViet Asset Management, the RongViet Trade Union Executive Committee confidently carried out the programme. Despite geographical challenges and economic difficulties, through the collective spirit of sharing, the RongViet Trade Union Executive Committee was able to raise enough funds to sponsor this year's programme. We hope that Thanh Son Primary School, after receiving the new classrooms, will maintain its green, clean, and beautiful environment. This will create a joyous learning atmosphere for the students and help their dreams come true more quickly. We wish the students good health and hope they continue to live their lives full of dreams, aspirations, and efforts to make their dreams come true, contributing to the development of our country."
