To initiate Chalk Road events at Dieu Luong Secondary School, students have the opportunity to engage in exhilarating sports activities requiring both physical ability and intelligence. Volunteers grouped the children into five teams, each participating in creatively designed games: charades, Tom & Jerry, shoe-throwing and freeze tag. The enthusiasm displayed by the students and the project members has infused the atmosphere with vibrancy, effectively dispelling the stifling summer heat.

Moving into the afternoon session, Chalk Road arranged an array of workshops centered around aspirations and cybersecurity. Within the “Dream” workshop, 7th and 9th grade students wrote down their future desires and folded them into paper cranes. This meaningful activity not only adds a touch of color to the reading room but also serves as a heartfelt gift from Chalk Road to the school. Concurrently, the network safety workshop imparts fundamental knowledge to equip students with the tools to safeguard themselves while using the Internet.
