At the same time, it demonstrated the responsibility of the members of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation to the community.

Speaking at the donation ceremony, Head of the delegation Nguyen Hong Minh shared 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 Administration has launched many donation activities to support the people of the Central region and localities affected by storms and floods.

“The Vietnam Sports Administration has called on officials, civil servants, public employees, and workers in the entire industry to join hands in support, with some contributing a day’s salary; and at the same time, organizing sports exchange activities to raise funds, in order to contribute to sharing the losses and damages of the people,” said Mr. Nguyen Hong Minh.

The award ceremony took place on the afternoon of December 3.

In particular, right before the Vietnam Sports Delegation entered the 33rd SEA Games campaign, the spirit of charity was strongly spread among each member. Mr. Nguyen Hong Minh also informed that athletes, coaches, experts and officials of the Delegation voluntarily contributed a total of 116.5 million VND to send to people in areas affected by natural disasters.

Receiving the donation, Mr. Cao Xuan Thao - Head of Social Work Department, Central Committee of Vietnam Fatherland Front - expressed his respect for the gesture of the Sports Industry and Vietnam Sports Delegation.

Mr. Thao affirmed that all contributions from the Committees, 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.
