“We participate in the activity on a voluntary basis, wanting to contribute our youth to do specific and practical things to bring a warm Mid-Autumn Festival to the unfortunate. With the money collected from the car wash, we will mobilize youth union members to bring gifts to the homes of these unfortunate people to give, visit and encourage them,” Ms. My shared.
This activity also demonstrates the enthusiasm of young people in social security activities, contributing with local authorities to care for the less fortunate.
Nguyen Thanh Duy - Secretary of the Nga Bat Hamlet Youth Union - has been with the program since its inception, sharing: "On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, every family usually has enough cakes and fruits to gather together and enjoy the festival, but with difficult circumstances, it is difficult to prepare daily meals, and they do not have the conditions to fully celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. I feel that I have contributed a little effort to bring joy to children and the elderly, and I myself am also happy, wanting to do more activities for social security."
The program "Bringing Mid-Autumn Festival to disabled children and lonely elderly people" of Dong Hung B commune union has attracted many youth union members to participate and received support from the people because of its practical meaning for the community.
