The contest “Write about the green planet” was launched by Save the Children in response to the global Generation Hope campaign on acting against climate change and inequality.

Wish Upon A Star is a collection of short stories, messages, and artwork about the climate emergency from children in Asia aged 9-17. It aims to inform and inspire people of all ages to take action to protect children's rights to a safer and more sustainable future. This e-book was produced by the Red Alert campaign network, which is led by children and youth in Asia-Pacific and supported by Save the Children.

After receiving financial and technical support to set up computer labs in 2021, children and teachers in disadvantaged areas in Bao Thang, Muong Khuong, Bat Xat and Van Ban districts continued to be supported to participate in training courses on digitalization in education.

In early September, under the framework of the "Safe back to school" project (SB2S), Save the Children and the Quang Binh Department of Education and Training provided gift sets of stationary and learning equipment for the 200 most disadvantaged students in the area.
