At the Little Prince orphanage ( Dong Nai ), the children were quite excited to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival program called “GREEN MOONLIGHT”. Different from the traditional lantern processions and feasts, the children were immersed in new activities: specialized activities on environmental protection, practicing making dry soap, creating lanterns from recycled materials...
Nguyen Do Thanh Thu, an 11th grade student at Mac Dinh Chi High School, shared: "Seeing the students making soap and smiling happily, I feel very happy. This is a practical way of education that students can apply every day to maintain hygiene and protect their health."
Recycling not only helps children learn self-care skills, but also provides them with useful experiences. From discarded plastic bottles, paper cups or cans, under the guidance of Tran Kien, a student at the Foreign Trade University in Ho Chi Minh City, the children have created colorful and creative lanterns.
“I want the children to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival and learn how to recycle old things and protect the environment. When I see them complete their lanterns, I feel very happy and proud,” Kien shared.
According to Mr. Hoang Nhat Tan, representative of the Little Prince orphanage, these activities not only help children access knowledge about health and the environment but also practice life skills such as patience, independence and creativity.
Unlike the short-term gift-giving model, the “GREEN MOONLIGHT” project aims to change awareness and build sustainable habits through direct experiences. Thanks to that, the Mid-Autumn Festival becomes a festival that is not only fun but also beneficial, leaving a lasting impression on childhood.
Meanwhile, in Con Dao special zone, the Ho Chi Minh City Trade Union Social Work Center coordinated with Vietcombank Tan Sai Gon Branch to organize the "Mid-Autumn Festival of Love" program, and gave 100 gifts including necessities and cash to children of workers in difficult circumstances.
"I was very happy to receive the Mid-Autumn Festival gift and thank you for loving us. I promise to try to study hard," said Pham Minh Tam, a 6th grade student at Le Hong Phong Secondary School (Con Dao Special Zone).
Not only the children, many poor people on the island also received meaningful gifts on this Mid-Autumn Festival. Mrs. Nguyen Thi On, nearly 80 years old, who makes a living by selling lottery tickets, emotionally said: "Although it is just a small gift, it gives me the motivation to live happily and healthily. I am very grateful that the children did not mind the distance and expense to come all the way to the island to give gifts."
Mr. Huynh Song Hao, Director of Vietcombank Tan Sai Gon, said that social security activities are always of interest to the unit and are implemented in parallel with business tasks. This year, the unit brings Mid-Autumn Festival to disadvantaged children in Con Dao special zone with the desire to join hands with other units to take care of them and give them a complete Mid-Autumn Festival. Through the program, the organizers hope that the children will have more motivation to study and strive even though they are living in more difficult circumstances than children on the mainland.
