Ms. Bach Thi Thao (Provincial Center for
Social Protection) and pupils at the drawing contest organized by Family and
Children Magazine.
Having worked at provincial Social Work
Center for nearly 10 years, despite many difficulties, Ms. Thao always tries to
do all her duties well. Recalling the early days, when she was not yet adapted
to the new working environment, her children were young, and her home was far
away from work. In addition, due to the particular nature of her job, she often
had to stay in the Center outside of working hours to be in charge of primary
school children, each with different family backgrounds, personality and
capacity to absorb unevenly; so many times she was discouraged and wanted to
change her job. But with her perseverance and enthusiasm, she gradually
overcame difficulties. Being shared, supported and aided by her family, she
tried her hardest to find and research the right solutions for her work. The
more and more familiar she is, the more and more close she feels attached to
the profession, with people living and working in the Center. The innocence,
nature of the children lacking the warmth of parents, not knowing family
feeling since their births are the motivation for her to have more will, firm
in doing her work.
"Most of the children living in the
house of the Center have very special situations. Some were left right after
being born and they did not know their parents. Some are living in the family
with alcoholic fathers, who frequently beat the mothers and children. Hence, to
let the child safe and have a chance to go to school, the mothers had to send
to the center; every year, only in the Lunar New Year or on summer vacation,
the mothers can pick them homes. Because the children here are lack of family’s
emotion since they were small, they are always craving for being cared, loved
and shared. Every time we have a volunteer group, the children are excited and
close to the volunteers, they do not want to leave far away from them. As a
mother, I feel the loss, the lack of family’s warmth of those children,
therefore, I always try my best to take care of them, teach them as my own
children. Sometimes, I spend more time for the children here than for my
children, "Ms. Thao shared.
