The golf tournament we are participating in today has been held for five consecutive years and is one of the meaningful activities in the "Joining Hands for Road Safety" program initiated by the Traffic Newspaper since 2013.

Over the years, with the trust and support of our readers and partners, Giao Thong Newspaper has provided thousands of gifts and scholarships to the relatives of traffic accident victims; built dozens of bridges and houses of compassion, and nurtured dreams of overcoming adversity.

Ms. Nga also emphasized that the presence of golfers at the tournament not only helps victims of traffic accidents overcome difficulties but also spreads the message of "Joining Hands for Traffic Safety," encouraging everyone to comply with traffic laws so that every journey is a joy, and every end of the road is a complete and joyful reunion.
