The Tet Charity event in Coc San commune received support and cooperation from the Vietnam Buddhist Association - Central Economic and Financial Committee, and many sponsors, with 520 gift packages worth 350 million VND.
Lao Cai this morning felt colder; the branches and leaves shed their last shades of yellow, revealing rough, peeling bark. This is the process of accumulating sap, waiting for the spring rains and warm sunshine, when new green shoots will burst forth to welcome spring. The warmth and kindness in people's hearts towards one another is like the warm, fragrant spring sunshine. The "Compassionate Tet": Fair - Gift Giving - Celebrating Tet at the People's Committee of Coc San Commune - Lao Cai City is precisely that spring sunshine.

This Tet holiday, Lao Cai City No. 1 High School, in close coordination with the school's Youth Union, Trade Union, Red Cross Society, and benefactors, prepared 150 gift packages worth 45 million VND. Each package contained essential items such as sugar, cooking oil, fish sauce, seasoning, confectionery, instant noodles, etc. These gifts from Lao Cai City No. 1 High School were placed at booth number 2, and teachers and students warmly and enthusiastically distributed them to needy households. We are always aware that "it's not the gift itself, but the way it's given." A small gesture of kindness can make the Tet holiday warmer for our compatriots, but respect, empathy, and love will give them strength and faith in life to overcome difficulties.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Do, from Tong Chu village, Coc San commune, Lao Cai city, happily shared : "I'm so happy, very happy to receive such attention from the Party and the State today, and to receive gifts from the children like this. This Tet holiday, I have so many things, I'm very happy."
