Warm Mid-Autumn Festival, spreading love

QTO - Mid-Autumn Festival is an occasion for children to have fun, carry lanterns, and break the traditional costumes. This is also an opportunity for all levels, sectors, organizations, and individuals to express their love and care for the future generations of the country. Joining the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival 2025 across the country, children in Quang Tri province from the mountains to the plains or the sea are cared for, welcoming a warm and loving Mid-Autumn Festival.

In order to create opportunities for children to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Women's Union of Trieu Co commune organized the "Love Mid-Autumn Festival" program in 2025 for orphaned children and children in difficult circumstances in the area. At the program, the Women's Union of the commune presented 85 gifts (worth 300,000 VND/gift) to the children from the support fund of units and enterprises; and together with the children, they enjoyed special performances and broke the cake in a joyful and warm atmosphere.

Nguyen Khanh Duy, a 10th grade student in Tai Luong village, Trieu Co commune, lost his mother at a young age. Participating in the "Mid-Autumn Festival of Love" program organized by the Commune Women's Union, Khanh Duy was moved to share: "Every time the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, my heart is often filled with indescribable emotions. This year, thanks to the care of philanthropists and the Commune Women's Union, I was able to participate in the "Mid-Autumn Festival of Love" program and receive gifts and moon cakes. I feel extremely warm and touched because this gift shows the care of the aunts and uncles for me, helping me have more faith and determination to try every day."

Chairwoman of the Women's Union of Trieu Co Commune, Nguyen Thi Quynh Huong, said: "Every year, on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the women's associations in the commune have coordinated with the villages to organize the Mid-Autumn Festival and give gifts to children... This year, after the merger, the commune is larger in scale, with a large number of orphans and children in difficult circumstances, so the Women's Union of the commune decided to organize a separate Mid-Autumn Festival program for them. The gifts given, although not large, show the care and love of the authorities and society for the children, encouraging them to be good and study well."

Kim Dien is a mountainous commune, ethnic minorities account for nearly 35% of the population. In order for children to have a joyful Mid-Autumn Festival, the Commune People's Committee coordinated with the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee to organize the program "Mid-Autumn Festival Connecting Love".

Ms. Tran Thanh Van, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Office Youth Union, said: “This is a meaningful activity, not only a material gift but also a spiritual gift to help children have more joy in life. Youth Union members and youth of relevant grassroots Youth Union organizations coordinated together to plan the program early, assigning specific tasks to each relevant department. From mobilizing funding sources, designing mockups, preparing gifts, organizing venues, program scripts, etc., everything was implemented methodically, closely and urgently. Thanks to that, the program was successful, bringing joy to children during the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

On this occasion, organizations and benefactors presented 27 gifts to policy families, 50 scholarships to disadvantaged students and 500 Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to children in Kim Dien commune. Each scholarship and each gift is a source of spiritual encouragement, adding confidence for children to firmly step on the path of learning, nurturing their childhood dreams. On this occasion, playgrounds for children, community libraries, rows of gratitude trees, projects to light up rural roads... were also supported by the Youth Union organizations to build and repair. The total value of the activities is over 60 million VND.

Vice Chairman of Kim Dien Commune People's Committee Dinh Minh Nam excitedly shared: "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the commune received the support of many organizations and philanthropists to give students many gifts. Youth projects supported on this occasion also contributed to creating more playgrounds for children. These spiritual and material contributions will help children have more joy and motivation to go to school."
