Meaningful start of "Month of Action for Children"
On May 31, on the occasion of International Children's Day, the Ministry of Health organized the launching ceremony of the Month of Action for Children in Phu Tho with the message "Prioritizing resources to achieve goals for children". The ceremony was attended by more than 300 children, aiming to promote the movement of the whole people to care for, educate and protect children. During the program, Vinamilk and the Vietnam Grow Up Milk Fund donated 41,000 milk boxes, equivalent to 300 million VND, to help improve nutrition and health for disadvantaged children in the province.
Mr. Tran Dang Khoa - Deputy Director of the Department of Mothers and Children, Ministry of Health said: "We all know that nutrition plays an important role in children's development. During the period from 0 to 8 years old, nutrition plays a particularly important role in physical, mental and motor development, helping children to have good stature, physical strength and intelligence later on. Therefore, we highly appreciate nutrition programs for children".
Mr. Pham Tuyen, Director of Vinamilk Hanoi branch (standing in the middle) presented a symbolic board of 41,000 milk boxes to children in Phu Tho.
On this occasion, leaders of the Ministry of Health, representatives of agencies and Vinamilk also visited and presented nutritional gifts to children being treated at Phu Tho Provincial Maternity and Pediatric Hospital and SOS Children's Village Viet Tri - beneficiaries of milk from Vinamilk's Vietnam Grow Up Milk Fund program. Here, leaders of the Ministry of Health, Vinamilk and accompanying units directly presented gifts and sent words of encouragement to the children as well as the "mothers" - those who are taking care of and raising them day and night like their own children.
The delegation visited and gave gifts to "mothers" and more than 100 orphans and children in especially difficult circumstances at SOS Children's Village Viet Tri.
“We believe that after this benefit, the physical condition of the children at the center will improve. Hopefully, not only at SOS Children's Village Viet Tri, Vinamilk will continue to bring this source of nutritious milk to many children in difficult circumstances across the country,” said Mr. Le Xuan Tung - Director of SOS Children's Village Viet Tri (Phu Tho).
Activities aimed at disadvantaged children are a meaningful start to the Month of Action for Children.
"Join hands to light up dreams"
That is the message Vinamilk wishes to spread when accompanying the program "Lighting up dreams" organized by the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Children's Rights in coordination with Ben Tre province on May 31, aiming at special events in June. Accordingly, Vinamilk brought gifts and milk to nearly 400 children and 100 people from families with revolutionary contributions and families in difficult circumstances in the locality.
Mr. Do Thanh Tuan - Director of External Relations of Vinamilk - presented June 1 gifts to students who overcame difficulties and studied well in the program.
More than just gifts, the joy of children is being able to express their talents, speak their thoughts and dreams, and receive encouragement, care and love from the community.
The company representative also visited and encouraged children in special circumstances who are being cared for and educated at SOS Children's Village Ben Tre. Mr. Do Thanh Tuan - Director of External Relations of Vinamilk shared: "The Month of Action for Children is an opportunity for us to look back at the responsibility and role of the whole society in caring for the future generation. And not only on this occasion, Vinamilk has been and will always strive with child care activities, steadfast in its mission: so that all children have equal access to nutritional products of the best quality".
Vinamilk sent many gifts and milk to children in activities under the program "Lighting up dreams" in Ben Tre.
Sharing at the event, Ms. Le Tuyet Mai - Vice President of the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Children's Rights said: "We highly appreciate the sense of responsibility and support of the units, especially Vinamilk - a business that has always accompanied the work of taking care of children's health, especially nutritional health, for many years. Vinamilk's source of fresh, nutritious milk has helped children grow in height, weight, health and study better", Ms. Mai said.
