Go with all your love and volunteer spirit.
Two teams, comprising 42 volunteers from various units and sectors, have set off to directly participate in disaster relief and support for people in Bac Ha district ( Lao Cai province ) and Chiem Hoa district (Tuyen Quang province).
Commending the sense of responsibility and willingness to volunteer without hesitation, Mr. Nguyen Manh Cuong stated that these individuals represent the affection, warmth, and sharing spirit of the people of Ho Chi Minh City to their compatriots in the North who are suffering greatly from storms and floods.
According to Mr. Cuong, the next five days will be challenging. Therefore, the teams must ensure safety, coordinate with local forces, work with a spirit of sharing and volunteerism, and overcome all difficulties.
"There will be a lot of work needed to help people overcome the consequences of the storms and floods. But each of you must take great care of your health so that you can complete the assigned tasks," Mr. Cuong noted.
