In particular, besides the philanthropists who are organizations and businesses, I am truly touched and grateful to many children who have given up their loaves of bread, cups of sweet soup to donate 1,000, 2,000, 10,000... to the Fund every day to ease the suffering of unfortunate young people”, Journalist Thai Ngoc Son shared.

Although the journey was long and tiring, I felt very happy and moved by the poor, sick, and orphaned children. I was very happy to participate in giving gifts to children in difficult circumstances. When I played with the children, I found them very cheerful and friendly.
Before I went, I bought a lot of toys, but after I finished, I will buy a few more and save money to donate to the Fund to send to my friends. I thank you for letting me go with you. I hope to go again next time.
