The program featured Ms. Pham Thuy Chinh, Vice Chair of the National Assembly's Economic and Financial Committee; Mr. Hoang Minh Hieu, Member of the National Assembly's Law and Justice Committee. Also present were the Vice Presidents of the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Disabled People and Orphans: Mr. Do Manh Hung, former Vice Head of the National Assembly Office; and Ms. Tran Thi Dung, former Vice Chair of the National Assembly's Law Committee.

With the message "Joining hands to give love - Nurturing the future of children," the program provided a warm artistic atmosphere along with meaningful gifts for children in difficult circumstances.

In the hustle and bustle of modern society, vulnerable individuals – especially orphans and children with disabilities – still need the protection and support of the community. Stemming from the spirit of mutual support, the "Compassionate Hearts" program has become a journey connecting compassionate hearts, bringing together organizations, businesses, and philanthropists from all over the country.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Do Manh Hung, former Deputy Head of the National Assembly Office and Vice President of the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Disabled People and Orphans, representing the Organizing Committee, emphasized: "Every act of sharing today is a 'seed of hope,' instilling confidence in disadvantaged children to rise above their circumstances. The program is not just a simple social welfare activity, but also clearly demonstrates the responsibility of the business community and society towards the care and protection of children."

The highlight of the program was the elaborately staged artistic exchange space, offering the audience a wide range of emotions. The event began with a vibrant welcoming performance featuring a medley of songs including "Swallows of Childhood" and "Like a Blue Marble." Following this, the children and artists created poignant moments through emotionally rich performances such as "My Little Dream," "Angel's Smile," and the expressive dance "My Child's Dream."

Those pure melodies are not just songs, but also the voice of the heart, the simple dreams of children in the highlands, in areas still facing many difficulties - children who always yearn to be loved, to study, and to strive for a better future.

In particular, the documentary "Hearts of Empathy," screened at the event, was deeply moving, vividly portraying the resilience of disabled children in overcoming difficulties, and acknowledging the enduring support of kind-hearted individuals on their journey of sharing love.

Besides the gifts of encouragement, the Organizing Committee also implemented practical support activities by donating hundreds of Tet gifts to children in particularly difficult circumstances. According to the plan, these gifts have also been sent to students at Lung Cu Ethnic Boarding Primary School (Ha Giang province) and children in Bac Muc commune ( Tuyen Quang province).

Each gift package, worth 1,000,000 VND, may not be substantial in material terms, but it embodies the deep care, responsibility, and affection of the community, contributing to helping the children and their families have a warmer and more fulfilling Spring season.

The combined efforts of numerous charitable organizations and individuals, including the Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, Thanh Thanh Cong Group Joint Stock Company, Vinamilk brand, Bibica Confectionery Joint Stock Company... and many other organizations and individuals, have created a strong ripple effect for the program, affirming the power of compassion in society. As the Organizing Committee affirms, through the power of art and the spirit of sharing, "Compassionate Hearts" will continue to be expanded, so that no child is left behind on their journey towards the future.
