Joy spreads from gifts
Ms. Nguyen Thi To Uyen, in Cho Lach commune (worker at Chanh Thu Fruit Import-Export Co., Ltd.), said that her family is in difficult circumstances, husband and wife work together at a fruit import-export company, income is unstable, so taking care of her children is still very lacking.
According to Ms. Uyen, her daughter born in 2018 is in 3rd grade, every new school year or holiday, Tet is a big worry. "When my daughter receives gifts, I am very touched because I feel shared," Ms. Uyen expressed.
In Tra Con commune, military-civilian Tet activities associated with Chol Chnam Thmay Tet are imbued with cultural identity, so most of the workers' children receiving gifts are Khmer ethnic people, creating a joyful and warm atmosphere.
Ms. Thach Kha My, whose child is in 2nd grade, said that her family is very happy that her child received a scholarship. "The gift is not large, but it helps her child have better learning conditions," Ms. My added.
That joy is not only present through material gifts but also the timely care and sharing from the Trade Union organization, helping young children become more confident and continue to rise up in their studies.
For many workers, the care and concern for their children is the greatest source of encouragement, helping them feel secure in working and long-term commitment to the business and the locality.
Practical care for workers' children
The joy not only comes from workers but also spreads in the government and Trade Union organization when gifts are handed directly to children of workers at the grassroots level, especially in ethnic minority areas.
Mr. Ha Van Thanh Khuong - Chairman of Tra Con Commune People's Committee said that this year's military-civilian Tet activities are associated with the Chol Chnam Thmay Tet of the Khmer people, organized with many practical contents, contributing to taking care of people's lives.
According to Mr. Khuong, the program includes free medical examination and medicine distribution, Tet cake wrapping, and inauguration of rural roads. "In particular, giving gifts to workers' children on the occasion of Chol Chnam Thmay Tet creates joy and excitement for Khmer people," he said.
