On February 1st, the People's Committee and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Tai Van commune (Can Tho City) coordinated with philanthropists to organize Tet gifts for poor, near-poor, and disadvantaged households in the area.
At the program, the Organizing Committee presented 330 gifts, each worth about 500,000 VND, including rice and essential necessities.
Receiving gifts at the program, Ms. Ly Thi Sa Ech (72 years old) said that she currently lives alone, her children and grandchildren are working far away, occasionally sending money back for living expenses because they still have to raise their children. "Being able to receive Tet gifts, I am very happy, having more conditions to celebrate Tet, reducing the burden for my children and grandchildren," she shared.
In the same situation, Ms. Lam Thi Hon (73 years old) also lives alone, without children or grandchildren. Previously, due to difficult circumstances, she was supported by the locality to build a Great Solidarity house. Every day she wraps cakes to sell to earn a living, but due to old age and weakness, she can no longer work, and her income is precarious. "Receiving the Tet gift, I am very happy," Ms. Hon expressed.
Tai Van commune (Can Tho City) is a locality with a large number of ethnic minorities living, of which Khmer people account for about 80%. Currently, the locality still has 252 poor and near-poor households and 330 households in difficult circumstances.
According to Ms. Huynh Nhu Y - Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Tai Van commune - in order to care for the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year 2026 for poor and near-poor households, policy families and those in difficult circumstances, the Commune Fatherland Front Committee has coordinated with socio-political organizations to actively mobilize philanthropists to support Tet gifts for people in the area.
To date, 650 gifts have been received, with a total value of over 300 million VND. The gifts include rice, necessities and essential items, contributing to helping people celebrate Tet joyfully, warmly, and affectionately.
