More than 1,000 gifts including condensed milk, fresh milk, and cakes were delivered to children who had just experienced storms and floods in Hanoi and Thai Nguyen. In Hanoi, the gifts were delivered to children in Thach That and Quoc Oai districts. Meanwhile, on September 17, Vinamilk staff also came to give gifts to children at Phu Luong Ethnic Boarding Secondary School (Thai Nguyen province). The school has 368 students, with 12 classes, all of whom are ethnic children.
“During the flood, the water rose very high, the water in the yard was over my body. We all had to move to the first floor. The school kitchen was also flooded, so the teachers had to cook rice elsewhere and row a boat to bring it to school for us,” said Dinh Hai Lam, a 6th grade student at Phu Luong Ethnic Boarding Secondary School.
After the flood receded, in recent days, teachers and students here have worked together to clean up the school so that they can return to their normal learning and living activities. The children were also able to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival without any storms or floods.
Many children in Trung Son hamlet, Quang Son commune, Dong Hy district (Thai Nguyen province) also received gifts from Vinamilk on the Mid-Autumn Festival. The gifts are small but show care and love, bringing joy to the children, as well as encouraging them to overcome difficulties. In particular, Mr. Do Thanh Tuan, Director of External Relations of Vinamilk, shared that for children, milk is a necessary source of nutrition to help them develop physically and Vinamilk always pays attention and prioritizes nutritional products for children.
Previously, Vinamilk donated more than 500 gifts including Ong Tho condensed milk, 100% fresh milk, moon cakes, backpacks, and school supplies to poor children in Ca Mau; and disadvantaged children being cared for at centers for disabled children, child protection centers, and shelters in Can Tho and Bac Ninh.
In Dat Mui commune (Ca Mau province) - the southernmost point of the country, Vinamilk employees joined hands to organize a joyful and warm Mid-Autumn Festival for the children. In addition to gifts of milk and moon cakes, playing games and watching performances, the children received 15 scholarships, more than 1,000 books, notebooks, hundreds of school supplies and 5 laptops. These were gifts jointly made by Vinamilk employees at many units across the country.
