Universities and colleges in Khanh Hoa Province have organized practical activities to help students on the occasion of the New Year Day.
Five trips back home for the 2019 Lunar New Year have just departed, bringing more than 200 students home in central provinces. A bio-technology student named Nguyen Thi Ngoc Bich, K58, says, “I cannot afford a trip back home in Quang Tri Province for Tet. The free transport is so meaningful to me.”
