A shirt of love sent to people in flood-hit areas

The Big Hands Club prepares clothes to give to people in flood-affected areas.

Ms. Dang Thi Tuyet, Head of the Big Hands Club, said: In response to information about the losses suffered by people in the Central and Northern provinces and cities due to storms No. 10 and No. 11, club members sought to help with a heart of sharing.

The club collected clothes from benefactors, received them, washed them, and sorted them carefully. Most of these clothes were handed over to relief trucks for people in flood-affected areas, the rest were sent by shipping services, ensuring the goods reached the people as soon as possible.

According to Ms. Dang Thi Tuyet, after the transportation, there were a total of 30 bags of clothes sent to the people. Many volunteer groups and individuals who knew about this meaningful activity also joined in donating. The thick, warm clothes were chosen by the club to be given to the people of Lao Cai province, the rest were sent to Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces.

The club’s motto is “the way of giving is better than what is given”, so members carefully select, classify, wash, and fold clothes neatly and cleanly. “When receiving clothes, people feel happy and warm”, Ms. Dang Thi Tuyet shared.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Nam transported old clothes to give to people in flood-affected areas.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Nam, Vice Chairman of the Club, is very active in collecting clothes from benefactors, helping to pack and transport them. Mr. Nam said: “We think that while people are facing many difficulties due to storms and floods, these gifts will give us more motivation. Thinking so, everyone is enthusiastic about this charity work.”

According to Mr. Nam, in addition to clothes, this time the Club also mobilized a large amount of instant noodles, soy sauce, etc. to give to people in flood-affected areas. On the previous Mid-Autumn Festival, the Club also sent hundreds of lanterns and books to children in flood-affected areas in the Central region.

Ms. Dang Thi Tuyet has been the "forerunner" of the Big Hands Volunteer Club for over 10 years.

The Big Hands Volunteer Club, under the Center for Preservation and Dissemination of Traditional Martial Arts, has been operating for over 10 years. The club is notable for its many activities such as mobilizing money, gifts, and necessities for people in difficult circumstances, the disabled, etc. on occasions such as Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, the beginning of the new school year, and Vu Lan Festival.

In previous years, the Club also regularly had practical activities to support people affected by natural disasters, storms and floods, even organizing volunteer trips to flood-affected areas.
