Journey of sending love

Practical sharing…

Walking around the new house that still smells of lime and mortar, Mrs. Le Thi Be (born in 1958) in Tan Hai village, Ngu Thuy Bac commune (Le Thuy) was filled with joy, because her long-time wish had come true. Her family had just been handed over a new, clean house. Mrs. Be is a single mother, a poor household, often sick, and having difficulty finding food, so she did not dare to think about renovating the seriously degraded house. When she received support to build a charity house from the Binh Duong Provincial Red Cross Association through the Quang Binh Provincial Red Cross Association with the amount of 50 million VND, she and her children were extremely happy.

Ms. Le Thi Be in Tan Hai village, Ngu Thuy Bac commune (Le Thuy) has just been handed over a new, clean house.

For Mrs. Bé, the timely attention of the local government and the joint efforts and help of her brothers, sisters and neighbors not only gave her a solid home, but also gave her more motivation to overcome difficulties to have a full life. "In my whole life, I never thought of building a new house like this. I am extremely touched and grateful, because at nearly 70 years old, I have a warm place to shelter from the rain and sun, filled with love from everyone," Mrs. Bé confided.

In recent days, the Red Cross Association at all levels in the province has brought much joy to thousands of poor people, disadvantaged families, especially students in the province. Principal of Phong Hoa Secondary School (Tuyen Hoa) Truong Thi Thuong said that 20 disadvantaged students of Phong Hoa Primary School and Phong Hoa Secondary School have just received 20 scholarships (worth 1 million VND/scholarship) awarded by the Provincial Red Cross Association in coordination with the Khanh Hoa Provincial Red Cross Association. These small gifts will contribute to the encouragement and, above all, the spirit of the school's companionship with students who overcome difficulties to study well.

In addition, Quang Binh Petroleum Company donated 13 bicycles to 13 disadvantaged students at Lien Trach Secondary School (Bo Trach) with a total value of 20 million VND. Teachers and students of schools in Thuong Trach Commune (Bo Trach) have just received 14 smart TVs (worth 5 million VND/unit) donated by the Ba Ria-Vung Tau Provincial Red Cross Association...

Since the beginning of May 2025, the Red Cross Associations at all levels in the province have enthusiastically organized many meaningful activities to mobilize, connect, and support the community and associated with major emulation movements, such as: "For the poor - No one is left behind", "Join hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses" ..., creating conditions for people to develop the economy and escape poverty sustainably. Thanks to that, the sharing and support of all classes of people in humanitarian and charitable activities have been spread, contributing to the Party Committee and the government in effectively implementing social security work in the area.

Multiplying humanitarian values

Humanitarian Month 2025 with the theme "Humanitarian Journey - Spreading Love" has a special mark, because the activities are organized in conjunction with the event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South, National Reunification, especially the milestone of 135th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh - the founder of the Association, the first Honorary President of the Vietnam Red Cross Association. The peak activities are concentrated from May 8-19.

Poor households and disadvantaged families receive "sharing" from philanthropists during Humanitarian Month 2025.

According to Chairman of the Provincial Red Cross Association Phan Van Cau: “Humanitarian Month is not only a series of Red Cross activities of a mass nature, but also a journey connecting kind hearts, lighting up love from the simplest gestures. There, every gesture, heart, and action, no matter how small, can contribute to making a big change in the lives of people in difficult circumstances.”

With the spirit of "mutual love and support", Humanitarian Month has attracted many organizations, individuals and businesses to actively contribute resources to humanitarian activities so that humanitarian values can spread widely in the community. Up to now, 100% of districts, towns, cities and associations have organized practical humanitarian assistance activities, oriented towards the community. In particular, depending on the assistance needs of the beneficiaries, the Red Cross Association at all levels has selected appropriate forms of support, especially in remote, isolated and disadvantaged areas... As of May 30, 2025, Humanitarian Month has mobilized over 7.15 billion VND, supporting 10,543 beneficiaries.

Red Cross Associations at all levels have organized the Humanitarian Month with many activities suitable to the conditions of each locality, bringing high efficiency, such as: Provincial Red Cross Association mobilized 2,187 billion VND/2,105 beneficiaries; Red Cross Associations of districts: Le Thuy 1 billion VND/1,361 beneficiaries, Quang Ninh over 947 million VND/1,794 beneficiaries, Bo Trach 918 million VND/1,284 beneficiaries, Dong Hoi City over 875 million VND/1,711 beneficiaries...

“To achieve the above results, the association has promptly implemented plans, organized resource mobilization, called on all cadres, members, volunteers, businesses, organizations, and individuals inside and outside the province to actively participate in meaningful activities of the Humanitarian Month; advised and proposed to Party committees and authorities at all levels to organize humanitarian activities with many practical contents. In particular, supporting vulnerable groups in the community is carried out in a sustainable manner, not only contributing to the good implementation of social security policies and poverty reduction work in the locality but also helping families have more confidence and motivation to improve their lives,” said the Chairman of the Provincial Red Cross Association.

Through humanitarian activities, Humanitarian Month 2025 is truly a journey of sending love, spreading the spirit of humanity with examples of good people and good deeds in society.
