Promoting the spirit of "helping each other"

After consecutive days of floods, the lives of people in Dong Giang commune faced many difficulties, but in that very hardship, the spirit of great solidarity was aroused more strongly than ever. People in the commune proactively supported each other with bundles of firewood, meals, and temporary accommodation. Many agencies, units, businesses and volunteer groups in many localities promptly joined hands to help, adding motivation for people to overcome the most difficult period.

This year's National Unity Day is even more meaningful as it helps spread the spirit of sharing and mobilize more social resources for localities to take care of people, especially those households that suffered heavy losses, and soon stabilize their lives after natural disasters.

Spread the sharing

Following the direction of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the ward, this year's festival was organized in a warm atmosphere, promoting the spirit of mutual love. Through news reports and images in the press, people in the area understand the hardships that many areas in Da Nang are facing. Therefore, every contribution, no matter how small or large, shows sincerity and the desire to share difficulties with fellow countrymen.

At the great solidarity festival, the inter-residential area mobilized 10 million VND to support people in Hung Son commune, a locality heavily affected by the recent floods.

* MS. HO THI VE, HEAD OF THE FRONT WORK COMMITTEE OF VILLAGE 4 (TRA TAN COMMUNE):

Solidarity is the strength to overcome difficulties.

To have a complete festival after the flood, for many days in a row, the villagers worked together to clean each house, sweep the roads, and put up flags and flowers. The spirit of neighborliness is the spiritual support that helps people stay strong during natural disasters. During the days of heavy rain, the commune leaders promptly assigned forces to support evacuation; and after the flood, they joined hands to rebuild houses and clear the village roads.

This year, the festival was organized simply because people were still focused on overcoming the consequences of natural disasters. However, that simplicity created a warmer atmosphere, when the commune leaders went to each village to listen to the people's thoughts and encourage each other to continue to stabilize their lives.
