UNMISS officers and experts had talks with over 1,700 students at two schools in Juba Internally Displaced Person (IDP) Camp I to raise awareness of the significance of education.
Apart from providing them with knowledge, the UNMISS officers presented gifts to the schoolgirls.
Moreover, the Vietnamese officers awarded some 2,000 school supplies, including notebooks, pens, pencils, and chalks, mainly sourced from the Women’s Union of the Ministry of Public Security, to teachers and students at the two schools to ease their straits.
The students were also presented with toys, brushes, art paper, and balls by the UNMISS.
This was the third time the Vietnamese working team had represented the Women’s Union of the ministry to do charity.
