The enjoyment of working with new students Every time there is a new batch of Vietnamese students, Mi becomes extremely busy: She has to help these international students with admission procedures, find accommodation, buy medicine, or take sick students to the hospital. In the eyes of many students, Mi is like a big sister, a consultant on many issues from studying, cultural subjects, or problems related to daily life in Russia. As a foreign student support specialist, Mi has taken care of many generations of international students. Because Mi herself understands the difficulties of the language barrier, she has launched a project called “Learning Russian from the soul” which includes a lot of methods to solve the problems that many Vietnamese students in Russia are currently facing. Mi confided that the idea of “Learning Russian from the soul” was formed when she witnessed many children who followed their parents to Russia when they were young.

in Nam Tra District, Quang Nam Province, central Vietnam have endured a rough life on the hillside for years due to the authorities’ unresolved conflict regarding overlapping geographical boundaries. The total area of the overlapping land between Kon Tum Province and Quang Nam Province is nearly 6,200 hectares, with the length of the whole route running through it at over 10 kilometers.  This problem has lasted for years, but the two provinces have yet to agree on a solution, resulting in the precarious survival of over 1,000 people on the hillside. They long for fundamental infrastructures similar to those in other villages, including electricity, a road system, schools, markets, and telecommunication services.  Where there is no light “A well-off family can buy their own water-powered electricity generator and place it at the top of the stream [that runs through the village]. But for the less able, they often team up in groups of three to four families,” said Ho Van Tho...
