Special Mid-Autumn Festival for workers' children
The dormitory area of Dinh Vang Company Limited was severely affected by storm No. 3, many structures were damaged. Therefore, the company had to temporarily relocate workers to some cultural houses in residential areas to overcome the consequences of natural disasters as well as ensure the living conditions of workers. Therefore, this Mid-Autumn Festival, more than 100 children in the dormitory could not celebrate the full moon together. On this occasion, the Hai Phong City Labor Federation visited and presented Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to workers' children; encouraged workers' families to overcome difficulties, and accompanied the company to overcome the consequences of the storm.
“The Hai Phong Economic Zone Trade Union plans and prepares to organize a Mid-Autumn Festival program at VSIP Industrial Park with many special activities. At the same time, it directs grassroots trade unions to organize at least one Mid-Autumn Festival activity for union members' children. However, because the city has just been directly affected by super typhoon Yagi, many businesses in economic zones and industrial parks have suffered heavy damage. Not to mention, many northern provinces are also suffering huge losses in terms of human lives and property due to floods. To share those difficulties, the Economic Zone Trade Union and most of its affiliated grassroots trade unions have stopped the "Mid-Autumn Festival" programs for union members' children and workers. Instead, the Economic Zone Trade Union has made a list of 350 cases of children of employees with special circumstances to directly visit, encourage and give gifts" - Ms. Dinh Thi Thuy Ha - Chairwoman of the Hai Phong Economic Zone Trade Union - said.
The delegation visited Tran Dinh Hai Lam (12 years old, son of a worker at Toyota Boshoku Company, suffering from a serious illness); Nguyen Tang Minh Phat (5 years old, son of a worker at Shin-Etsu Company, suffering from thalassemia), Pham Hoang Tuan (8 years old, son of a worker at Ohsung Vina Company, suffering from intellectual disability)... In addition to the Mid-Autumn Festival gift worth 500,000 VND, the Economic Zone Trade Union also mobilized businesses to support and give some children with serious illnesses, each child a carton of milk and 5kg of rice. The gifts and timely encouragement not only brought early Mid-Autumn Festival joy to the children but also encouraged the spirits of their parents, workers and laborers in difficult circumstances.
5,000 timely and meaningful gifts
According to the representative of the Propaganda Department of the Women's Union of Hai Phong City Labor Federation, on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival 2024, due to the impact of storm No. 3, many units and businesses are still having to overcome the consequences and damage caused by the storm, so they cannot organize recreational activities for children of employees.
With the wish that the children of workers will have a happy and warm Mid-Autumn Festival, the Hai Phong City Labor Federation has donated 5,000 gifts, each worth 500,000 VND, to the children of workers; directed trade unions at all levels to mobilize more gifts for workers' children, depending on the actual situation, with special attention to the children of workers in difficult circumstances, those with serious illnesses, workers in rented houses, workers whose houses were severely damaged after storm No.
Mr. Nguyen Cong Hoa - Chairman of the Hai Phong Industry and Trade Union - said: "Although this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was not complete due to the devastation of natural disasters, the Union's concern for the children of workers has helped the children have a full moon season full of love, more joy, and happiness, and enter the new school year with good results. In addition to 600 gifts from the Hai Phong City Labor Federation, the Industry Union also donated 150 gifts to children of workers with disabilities and serious illnesses with a total value of 30 million VND".
