Rewarding the teacher who helped more than 200 students avoid landslide disaster

On the afternoon of September 27, Mr. Nguyen Duy Thuy, Principal of Trung Ly Secondary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities, said that Deputy Director of Thanh Hoa Department of Education and Training Nguyen Van Dinh had just awarded a certificate of merit and reward to teacher Bui Thi Cham, a teacher of the school, for her outstanding achievements during the recent days of flood.

Ms. Cham is an example for teachers and students to follow in terms of a teacher's responsibility in caring for and protecting students' lives from floods.

Before that, at about 12:25 on September 22, after lunch, Ms. Cham saw the pouring rain. Being on duty at the dormitory, a geography teacher with knowledge of natural disasters, she was worried that after many days of heavy rain, the soil and rocks on the hills behind the dormitory would be soaked with water and could easily cause landslides.

At that time, hundreds of students were taking a nap, it would be very dangerous if a flash flood or landslide occurred. Thinking about it, Ms. Cham rushed to the dormitory to check and saw rocks and mud starting to fall down from the hill.

Seeing signs of danger, Ms. Cham quickly ran to each room to wake up the students and ask them to move to the school's classroom.

Then, Ms. Cham ran down to the classroom and used a loudspeaker to announce that the back of the dormitory was experiencing a landslide, asking all students to quickly run out of their rooms and move to the classroom area to ensure safety.

Ten minutes later, hundreds of cubic meters of rock and soil from the hill behind crashed into the dormitory, destroying three rooms.
