The Organizing Committee will provide savings books to orphaned students affected by the storm, helping them stabilize their lives and continue their education. They will also give accident insurance cards to students in mountainous areas and supply equipment to schools to help rebuild classrooms.
Typhoon Yagi, which hit Vietnam in early September, killed 52 children and left three students missing, eight injured, and three teachers dead. Thousands of schools were damaged, disrupting education.
