Man preserving and teaching Nom-Dao script
In 2008, after realising that the writing of the Dao language was in danger of disappearing, Ly Van Henh became determined to begin preservation efforts so that future generations could understand the letters of the language as well as customs of the Dao Tien ethnic minority people in Sung village, Da Bac district, Hoa Binh province.
