Where love is sown
Following the footsteps of the Education Promotion Association, Youth Union, and the Parent Association of Thanh Khe Senior High School, we traveled to Tr'Hy Boarding Primary School, a small school located in the heart of Tr'Hy Commune, Tay Giang District, Quang Nam Province. It was a beautiful sunny April day, yet behind the glaring sun, there was a journey full of love.

The winding slopes took our breath away, testing our patience. The vehicle, carrying more than twenty people, slowly made its way up, struggling through the sharp bends.
Tr'Hy Boarding Primary School appeared before us, small and simple but strangely warm. Even during the holiday, the school echoed with the laughter and conversations of teachers and students. The children's eyes lit up when they saw us, filled with eagerness and anticipation.
My first impression of Tr'Hy was the simplicity and sincerity of the people here. The Principal himself came to greet us when we were still 70 kilometers away. He said it wasn’t about fear of us getting lost, but about accompanying us through the most winding part of the journey. That simple statement deeply touched me. People who have lived in the highlands for so long do not use flowery words; instead, they show sincerity through their actions, leaving a lasting impression.
The night in Tr'Hy was an unforgettable experience. We immersed ourselves in the mountain ballads, warmed by the flickering fire made from dry cinnamon wood, and enjoyed warm rice wine with the fragrance of sticky rice. That warmth and sincerity bonded us together, creating a full, loving connection.
On this occasion, we brought 100 children's books for the children. These brand-new books, full of colors and images, opened a new world, a vast horizon of knowledge. Our group also donated 30 scholarships to children in difficult circumstances, along with sports equipment such as badminton rackets and footballs.
We hope that these small gifts will motivate the children to strive for success in their studies. Additionally, we donated some kitchen supplies to the school's catering staff, those who silently care for the children's meals. Although the material items are not much, they represent our hearts, our sharing, and the love we want to send to Tr'Hy.
We left Tr'Hy with beautiful memories, sincere feelings, and valuable lessons. The road back was still the same, winding up and down, but each of us had changed inside. The same road, but our hearts were now full of love.
The trip to Tr'Hy was not just a charity activity, but also a journey of discovery, a chance for us to slow down, feel, and cherish the simple things in life. We have learned so much from the people here: sincerity, simplicity, and an optimistic, love-filled spirit.
I believe that what we gave will not be in vain. The books, scholarships, and small gifts will help light up dreams and open brighter futures for the students of Tr'Hy. And above all, the love, the sharing we spread will always remain here, like wildflowers blooming, adding beauty to the scenery of Tay Giang's mountains.
I hope that one day soon, we will return to Tr'Hy, to be embraced by the loving arms of the simple people, to immerse ourselves in the majestic beauty of the mountains, and to continue the journey of sowing love. Because Tr'Hy is not just a place on the map, but a part of the heart of each of us.
