More Tet gifts to needy people
VOV 14:40, 2014/01/13
The Vietnam Red Cross (VRC) has disbursed VND4.8 billion from its budget to support families in special difficulty in 37 provinces to enjoy a happy lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.

The aid package is in response to the programme “Tet for the poor and Agent Orange victims” designed for the poor, dioxin victims, and those affected by natural disasters.

Nine VRC delegations have fanned out to present Tet gifts to poor families and families of Agent Orange victims in Lang Son, Cao Bang, Ha Giang, Thua Thien-Hue, Can Tho, Ben Tre, Dak Lak and Kon Tum. The mission lasts from January 10 to 27.

To date more than 10,000 businesses, organizations and individuals have supported the programme.

As of January 6, VRC chapters across the country had given 525,000 Tet gifts and humanitarian works worth over VND 200 billion to needy people.

Since the programme was launched nearly 15 years ago, VRC chapters have mobilized more than VND1.77 trillion to support nearly 10 million poor people and Agent Orange victims across the country.

More than 1.5 million poor families and families of dioxin victims received Tet gifts in 2013 alone.
