Ms. Canh shared: “Sharing the same passion and enthusiasm for the Youth Union and humanitarian volunteer activities, both my husband and I are always willing to donate blood to save people. We are very happy that the blood we donated has contributed to helping many people overcome critical situations and sustain their lives.”

Not only directly donating blood, Mr. Nghia and Ms. Canh also actively propagate and mobilize hundreds of friends, relatives, union members and local people to participate in safe blood donation. Thanks to the active role of Union officials like them, Cam Xuyen District Union has always been the leading unit in the blood donation movement; in 2025, the unit was one of four typical collectives to receive a certificate of merit from the Provincial People's Committee.
