In the morning of 6 December 2014, Petro Vietnam Fertilizer and Chemicals Corporation (PVFCCo) in collaboration with the local authority leaders organized the Inauguration ceremony for the public residential building of Primary school at Ban Khoang Commune, Sapa District, Lao Cai Province.
Attendees of the ceremony included Mr. Nguyen The Dung – Deputy Director of Lao Cai’s Education and Training Department; Mr. Phan Dinh Thong –Deputy Chief of Permanent Board of Sapa’s Party Committee; Mr. Pham Tran Nguyen – Vice Director of PVFCCo North.
The construction of public residential building for the Primary school at Ban Khoang Commune, Sapa District, Lao Cai Province was started from May 2014 with total investment of VND2 billion – from the 2013-2014 Social Security Fund of PVFCCo. The building covers an area of nearly 200 square meters, including a Grade-III building with re inforced conrete structure, two storeys, four fully equipped rooms, satisfying accommodation needs of the school’s teachers. Also at the ceremony, PVFCCo donated 1,000 notebooks to the school’s pupils.
Ban Khoang is an extremely poor commnue in Lao Cai Province. With its unfavorable terrain and severe weather conditions, the commune is often subject to heavy rains, floods, and frost. The minority ethnic people accounts for 90% of the commune population, and their living conditions are plagued with difficulties. In early September 2014, Ban Khoang suffered a flashflood causing the collapse of many rooms in the tenement house and seriously injuring many teachers. Therefore, the completion of the Ban Khoang public residential building for the primary school has a special meaning in providing stable accommodation for the school teachers, helping them focuson their teaching task. This is the second year in a row that PVFCCo supported Ban Khoang with construction works to facilitate education activities. In 2013, PVFCCo also sponsored the school with a sum of VND2 billion to build a domitory for local minority ethnic children.
