Pham Huong Thao, a 7th grader from Chu Van An secondary school in Haiphong has won first prize in the 43rd Universal Postal Union (UPU) International Letter Writing Contest launched in Vietnam.
The awards ceremony was held by the UPU organizing board in Hanoi on May 10.
The event, themed “Write a letter describing how music can touch lives”, was co-organised by the Ministry of Information and Communications, the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the VietnamPost.
After five rounds of deliberations, the organizing board chose one first prize, three second prizes, five third prizes and 30 consolation prizes, in addition to other awards for the youngest entrant and the best entries from ethnic minority groups and blind contestants.
In her letter, Thao made believe she was a violin of a young boy. His father abandoned the boy and his mother for an affair with a famous female violinist, which broke the heart of the boy’s mother and instilled in her a hatred for music.
As part of an effort to heal his mother’s soul,the boy began to play music, quickly discovering an innate talent as a musical prodigy,to help him overcome difficulties and sadness.
The competition aims to raise young people’s awareness of global social issues and to reinforce solidarity and friendship among nations, promote the participants’ linguistic capability and deepen their understanding of the postal sector’s role in social life.
