One late afternoon at the end of the year, when the morning mist had dissipated but the chill of the highlands still lingered in the wind, the schoolyard of A Lá branch, Long Sap Ethnic Minority Boarding Primary and Secondary School, became unusually quiet. The faint sunlight spread across the time-worn ground, where groups of students stood neatly, their eyes following the delegation from the Justice Newspaper and the People's Court of Region 6, Son La, as they entered the school gate.

Long Sap is a border commune in Son La province that still faces many difficulties. The two villages of A Ma 1 and A La are considered the areas with the most challenging economic conditions in the commune.

At A Má 1 school, over 90% of the students are children of the Thai, Mong, Xinh Mun, Khơ Mú, and Mường ethnic groups; at A Lá school, 100% of the students are from the Mong ethnic group. Life is still full of hardships, causing many obstacles to their studies and daily lives, especially during the winter months in the highlands.

The eyes of children in the highlands – where life is still lacking in both material resources and opportunities for learning and recreation.

In the rustic schoolyard, amidst the simple, one-story buildings, the gift-giving ceremony unfolded in a simple yet heartwarming manner. When their names were called, the children shyly stepped forward, their small hands clutching their new gifts. Wearing the woolen sweaters, many children's eyes lit up, and smiles appeared on their weather-beaten faces. Some gently pulled their friends aside, whispering a few words in their ethnic language, and joy spread throughout the schoolyard.

The children were overjoyed to receive their new, simple but warm clothes.

At the event, representatives from the Justice Newspaper and leaders of the People's Court of Region 6, Son La, presented 50 gifts from sponsors, including milk, confectionery, and sweaters, to students at A La school, each gift worth 700,000 VND; they also donated 25 blankets to help the children stay warm during the cold winter in this mountainous border region.

In addition, at A Má 1 school, representatives from the Cong Ly Newspaper donated two water purifiers, contributing to improving living conditions and ensuring a clean water supply for the teachers and students. This is practical and long-term support, meeting essential needs in the school life of students in the highlands.

Beyond providing material support, the program also represents sharing and offering encouragement to the students and teachers in this area. The handshakes and friendly glances between the delegation and the children helped bridge the gap, leaving behind beautiful and heartwarming images amidst the border mountains.

The students sang a song together as a way of thanking the delegation.

Through this activity, the Justice Newspaper and the People's Court of Region 6 in Son La continue to affirm the role and social responsibility of judicial agencies and the press in accompanying local Party committees and authorities in caring for the future generation.

These concrete, grassroots-oriented actions not only contribute to ensuring social security but also spread the spirit of the rule of law coupled with humanitarian values, strengthening the people's trust, especially among ethnic minorities in border areas, in the concern of the Party, the State, and agencies within the political system.
