A journey of connecting affection
On the 18 of October , the field trip to Bac Giang of classes 10T1, 10T2, 10P2 and 10A2 was officially organized. With a number of activities such as granting presents to the children of Truong Son – Luc Nam primary school and having some small talks with members of the Army Corps 2, the journey has left students of Hanoi – Amsterdam with a lot of special, interesting and meaningful experience.
Warm affection
Under the green cover of luxuriant trees, students of Hanoi – Amsterdam High School together with their teachers and parents were welcomed with a round of applause as they entered the front yard. Everyone was greatly touched by the warm welcome of all the staff and students of Truong Son primary school.
The program began with the speech of the school’s sub-principal – Mr Nguyen Tien Dung, then continued with an adorable performance of the song “Hey Vietnam” by the young art team of Truong Son primary school.

Experience with the soldiers
After saying goodbye to Truong Son primary school, the whole Hanoi – Amsterdam High School went on to the next destination: Depot KT 291 – Techonology Department – Army Corps 2.
