Exciting activities are underway leading up to Vietnamese Women's Day (October 20th).

In anticipation of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Women's Union (October 20, 1930 – October 20, 2025), women's associations at all levels in Nghe An province have actively implemented many practical movements and activities, contributing to spreading the image of women and the role of the women's union in contemporary social life.

Warm social welfare programs

As Vietnamese Women's Day (October 20th) approaches this year, many orphaned children in Quynh Luu commune have received gifts and warm attention from women's associations at all levels. Among them, Tran Dinh Thong (born in 2009) from Hong Phu village, Quynh Hong commune, has been sponsored by the Women's Union of the commune and generous donors, receiving meaningful support.

Ms. Ho Thi Thuy Hang, President of the Women's Union of Quynh Luu commune, said that Tran Dinh Thong has a difficult situation as he is an orphan, having lost both his parents. He is currently living with his grandmother, who is over 80 years old but in very poor health. Despite these difficulties, he still strives to study and is currently in 10th grade at Quynh Luu 1 High School.

Along with Tran Dinh Thong, this year on October 20th, the Women's Union of Quynh Luu commune successfully connected with businesses to continue sponsoring 10 more orphaned children in difficult circumstances in the area, with a support of 5 million VND/child/year. Currently, the Women's Union of Quynh Luu commune is directly sponsoring 18 orphaned children with special circumstances through various practical forms of support.

In addition, women in Quynh Luu commune also implemented the "Bowl of Love" program, cooking and donating over 600 free bowls of porridge to patients and their families at Quynh Luu General Hospital. They also sent many gifts to encourage the children receiving treatment at the hospital. These simple acts, filled with love, demonstrate the spirit of sharing and responsibility towards the community of local women as they enter October – the month of love.
