Be Creative in Poverty

I have 2 essays to write but can not help sharing this. Writing this way is also some kind of practice, so... Write!
The news is in Vietnamese. The context is in Vietnam. The school is in Yen Bai, north Vietnam where teachers have to live together in the same room. Although the school was funded to build a two-story building, teachers have to use their creativeness to furnish the school.
While many people complain about the government's wasting money in other projects, I feel the teachers should feel proud of themselves. They don't let poverty conquer them but make creativeness flourish.
Here are pictures from the news:
This is the picture of the school. It has a 2 story-building with about 10 classrooms, I guess. They have the gate but the fence is made from bamboo branches.
This is the picture of a room where teachers live together. They sleep in metal bulk beds.
They painted mathematical formula on the side of the stairs so that students from the yard can look at and learn by hearts. However, I don't understand why they painted a picture of Snow White and 7 dwarfs. They should have painted a picture of an ethnic hero in their literature. Just my opinion.
The container of shuttlecock is cut into halves and used as a flower vase. Green, right?
The flowers on the windows are from old CDs. Beautiful classrooms, huh?
Creativeness has no borders. Hope that all school in Vietnam can learn their green ideas.
