Hình ảnh
The picturesque village of Sadpara, nestled near Satpara Lake, just a stone’s throw from Skardu district, is facing significant challenges when it comes to its infrastructure. Of particular concern is the absence of a civil dispensary, despite numerous pleas from residents to the authorities. Local media outlet Skardu TV brings to light the ongoing struggle of the villagers, who are deprived of essential services. While Sadpara boasts stunning natural beauty and is located near the popular tourist destination of Satpara Lake in PoGB, it lacks basic amenities that are crucial for any community.

Ajax, who secured a 1-0 victory away to Panathinaikos in the first leg, conceded a late equalizer in the 89th minute in Amsterdam, forcing the game to a dramatic penalty shootout. The ensuing shootout broke the previous European record of 32 penalties taken in a U-21 championship semifinal between Netherlands and England in 2007, which the Dutch won 13-12. However, this game took the drama to a new level, as 34 consecutive penalties were converted before Ajax keeper Remko Pasveer became the hero. Pasveer made five saves and even scored a penalty himself, showcasing his all-around ability. Despite Dutch international Brian Brobbey missing two penalties, Ajax prevailed in the end. Pasveer, the man of the moment, expressed his surprise at saving five penalties, stating, “Five is quite a lot… I save a penalty every now and then, but I don’t think you often experience something as crazy as this.” He further added that he believed in his teammate Brobbey to score the winning penalty, but u...

International Teachers Attend Training in Vietnam for Teaching Vietnamese

The State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese (SCOV) and the Vietnam Education Publishing House (VEPH) collaborated to organize an activity aimed at promoting the use of the Vietnamese language among overseas Vietnamese communities. Dr. Nguyen Thuy Anh, author of the book series, directly instructed approximately 50 Vietnamese trainees who had returned from various countries such as England, Germany, France, Thailand, Laos, Taiwan, and others. Many of these trainees have been teaching Vietnamese for over five years, either as school teachers or as volunteers at cultural centers for both adults and children. One of the main challenges faced by Vietnamese language teachers abroad is the lack of resources and teaching methods for teaching Vietnamese as a foreign language to Vietnamese individuals who grew up abroad with limited exposure to their mother tongue and Vietnamese culture. The series called ‘Hello Vietnamese’ addresses this challenge and is designed around the story and journe...
