On November 18, in Dong My village – a renowned community in Hue with a long-standing tradition of crafting Lepironia grass mats by hand – Maries had the honor of participating and contributing meaningfully to the National Great Unity Festival. Embodying the spirit of “Sowing the Seeds of Knowledge, Building the Future,” Maries awarded scholarships to students with outstanding academic achievements as a practical gesture of encouragement and motivation.
Maries – Sowing the Seeds of Knowledge, Building the Future
As a company dedicated to preserving traditional crafts and fostering community development, Maries recognizes education as the most vital foundation for continuing Vietnam’s traditions. During this collaboration with Dong My village, Maries decided to grant scholarships to students excelling in their studies. These scholarships not only provided financial support but also served as heartfelt messages of encouragement, inspiring the students to strive further on their educational journeys.
Igniting Pride in Traditional Crafts
Dong My village has long been famous for its traditional craftsmanship, a testament to Vietnam’s cultural essence. However, in today’s era, such villages face numerous challenges, from economic difficulties to the risk of losing cultural values. Therefore, Maries believes that supporting the younger generation is not just about nurturing knowledge but also about motivating them to preserve and promote their hometown’s traditional crafts.
The scholarship award ceremony took place in a warm and proud atmosphere. The radiant smiles of the students and the emotional gratitude of the parents were vivid proof of the program’s impact. Mr. Le Ba Phu, head of Dong My village, shared:
“Today’s festival was a great success, and the village’s education committee presented awards to the students. Everyone deeply appreciates your contribution. Once again, thank you very much! It’s an honor that the village always receives your care in so many areas. Words cannot express enough gratitude for your immense kindness toward our village.”
Connecting to Spread Values
Maries’ mission goes beyond providing scholarships; it aims to spread profound humanitarian values. Through this partnership, Maries believes that the younger generation in Dong My will be inspired to overcome challenges and contribute to a brighter future for their homeland.
The National Great Unity Festival concluded with joy and a sense of solidarity, yet the values Maries imparted will continue to resonate, like an eternal flame of inspiration. Maries is committed to continuing its journey with communities nationwide, striving for a brighter future for all.
