Auction program spreads love
With the spirit of "Connecting - sharing - spreading love", on the evening of October 11, within the framework of the "Heritage Steps" fashion show of the World Cultural Festival in Hanoi, a charity auction took place to support people affected by the recent floods.
The auction program received contributions from 5 designers with 5 traditional costumes and a silk towel product; along with 2 ceramic vases and paintings by artist Ngo Ba Hoang; a series of pearl rings of a jewelry brand.
The painting " ancient Cheo Dieu" and "The sound of the kite in the golden field" by artist Ngo Ba Hoang is the highest-auctioned item in the program. This is a work rich in poetry, depicting the peaceful countryside of the North. The painting has a starting price of 150 million VND and was bought by Saigon - Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SHB) and T&T Group for 1 billion VND.
We believe that practical actions, no matter how small, will contribute to creating great strength to help people overcome difficulties. SHB and T&T Group always accompany the community not only in financial activities, but also through sharing and social responsibility", SHB Bank and T&T Group representatives shared.
Along with the painting "Old Cheo Dieu" and "The sound of the kite in the golden field", another work by artist Ngo Ba Hoang - the pottery bottle of Mother and Son, crafted with new enzyme and lacquer techniques, also received attention. Finally, the ceramic bottle "Mother and Child" was successfully auctioned by a benefactor at 555 million VND, demonstrating the spirit of sharing and spreading love as the program's message.
At the end of the program, the total amount of money collected from the auction and support from the audience and benefactors was up to 2.5 billion VND. The entire amount of funds raised will be transferred by the Organizing Committee to localities affected by floods, supporting the reconstruction of houses, schools and civil works.
The first World Cultural Festival in Hanoi took place from October 10 to October 12 at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel Heritage Center. With the goal of honoring the value of cultural diversity and enhancing people-to-people exchanges, the festival is a key cultural foreign affairs activity of Vietnam in 2025. As sponsors, SHB Bank and T&T Group are honored to accompany this special event, contributing to honoring and spreading the quintessence of Vietnamese culture.
When happiness is sharing
During 32 years of development, SHB and T&T are not only two enterprises but also companions whenever the country and people need them.
Recently, in the face of serious damage caused by storms and floods, SHB has quickly taken action, sending emergency relief teams to Thai Nguyen - one of the most severely affected localities. Hundreds of essential gifts including medicine, food and household items were given to people in flooded areas, promptly sharing difficulties and adding motivation for people to overcome this challenging period.
SHB staff across the country are also joining hands to donate, express their hearts and sharing to the people of the provinces struggling to suffer the consequences of natural disasters. In the coming time, SHB will continue to have practical activities to support people in flooded areas to rebuild their lives and soon overcome difficulties.
Previously, during the Covid-19 pandemic, when the whole society faced a crisis, SHB proactively implemented preferential credit packages, debt restructuring, and interest rate exemptions for hundreds of thousands of customers. Not only that, SHB also organized a series of volunteer activities, donated medical supplies, food, and stood side by side with people to overcome the most difficult times. The total amount of money that SHB, T&T Group and businesses in the ecosystem of businessman Do Quang Hien have donated and contributed to epidemic prevention is up to more than 1,500 billion VND.
By 2024, when Typhoon Yagi caused severe impacts in many provinces and cities, SHB will continue to be a pioneer bank in coordinating with the Fatherland Front Committees of many localities to directly conduct surveys, provide financial and spiritual support, and help people quickly stabilize their lives.
In particular, in the program "Warm home for my compatriots", in response to the Prime Minister's launch, SHB has donated 100 billion VND to Soc Trang province (now Can Tho city), supporting the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses for poor and near-poor households in the area.
In addition, SHB and T&T Group also accompany the Ministry of Public Security to implement a temporary house removal program, supporting the poor across provinces and cities, including the construction of 700 houses for the poor in Bac Lieu province (now Ca Mau province); 150 houses for people and 1 school for children of ethnic minorities in mountainous areas, in provinces heavily affected by storms and floods such as: Son La, Tuyen Quang, Dien Bien, Thai Nguyen...
Recently, SHB was honored to receive a Certificate of Merit from the Prime Minister for its outstanding achievements in the Emulation Movement "The whole country joins hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in 2025".
Wherever people need it, at any time the country calls, SHB and T&T Group are always present, not only with financial resources, but also with a heart to share and the desire to accompany a sustainable and prosperous Vietnam.
