This library is inspired by a Jewish way of teaching young children to be more interested in books by dripping honey on books, thus drawing their attention to discovering the vast treasure of knowledge. The project had been built by a group of students from the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology - Vietnam National University and was excellently won the Championship award of the 2021 INSEE Prize. This construction is expected to bring a safe and sustainable playing and learning space for the pupils in mountainous areas, partly contributing to the goal of developing educational facilities and improving the well-being of the community here.
