At the reception, which took place in a solemn and warm atmosphere, spreading a profound humanitarian message, the representative of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front acknowledged the gesture of the country's Sports Industry.

Speaking at the donation ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Hong Minh said that recently, responding to the call of industry leaders and organizations such as the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF), the Vietnam Sports and Physical Training Department has launched many fundraising activities to support the people of the Central region and localities affected by storms and floods.

Responding to the launch, officials, civil servants, public employees, and workers in the entire industry joined hands to support, some contributing a day's salary; at the same time, organizing sports exchange activities to raise funds, in order to contribute to sharing the losses and damages of the people. Especially, right before the Vietnamese Sports Delegation entered the 33rd SEA Games campaign, the spirit of charity was strongly spread among each member.

Mr. Nguyen Hong Minh presented the donation from the coaches, athletes, officials and experts of the Vietnam Sports Delegation.

"Coaches, athletes, experts and officials of the delegation voluntarily contributed a total of 116.5 million VND to send to people in disaster-stricken areas. This is the sincere sentiment of the Vietnam Sports Delegation. We hope that although the amount is not large, it will contribute more resources to help people overcome difficulties and stabilize their lives soon," said Mr. Nguyen Hong Minh.

Receiving the donation, Mr. Cao Xuan Thao, Head of the Social Work Department, Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front expressed his respect for the gesture of the Sports Industry and the Vietnam Sports Delegation: "All contributions from the Departments, Ministries, Branches and People nationwide will be transferred to the people of the affected provinces as soon as possible, to the right subjects and for the right purposes. Each cadre of the Vietnam Fatherland Front has, is and will promote the highest sense of responsibility towards the People. We are committed to timely allocation so that people have more resources to rebuild their lives and soon overcome the consequences of floods."
