Located on the western edge of the Northwest region of Vietnam, Dien Bien province’s topography is complex, with mainly steep, rugged, and strongly dissected hills with hot summers, heavy rains and erratic weather.
Muong Ang district located in the east of Dien Bien province is a district with poor living conditions. Huoi Hao is one of the most difficult schools in Ang To Commune, Muong Ang District. The school has 66 students, including 43 kindergarten kids, 23 primary school students and 3 teachers. Built 15 years ago with thin sheets of corrugated iron, the school looks like a container in hot weather. Students have to study in corrugated iron classrooms and because there is no electricity, the classrooms are very hot on sunny days, they often suffer with the heat and noise. Furthermore, the traffic towards the village is very difficult, the road to the school is quite challenging with many steep and muddy passes.
