At this launching ceremony, the Standing Committee of the District Women's Union connected 14 agencies and businesses to join hands to support and share love with 14 children in especially difficult circumstances. The Provincial Vietnam - France Friendship Association also awarded 18 scholarships to children in difficult circumstances. This is a very practical activity to support the care and upbringing of orphans, so that they can have better living and studying conditions.

To effectively deploy and implement the "Godmother" Program in the coming time, attending and speaking at the ceremony, the leader of Thanh Chuong district requested: The Women's Union and the Fatherland Front from the district to the commune need to step up propaganda and mobilization work to spread the program. Organize a specific review of each subject so as not to miss children in difficult circumstances. On that basis, select and allocate support units suitable to the actual circumstances of each child. Hope that sponsors will continue to pay attention and support the program more so that the children can reduce some of the difficulties in life. Because currently in Thanh Chuong district, there are 1,034 orphans, of which 37 are orphans of both parents, 997 are orphans of one parent. Many children in especially difficult circumstances need to be connected with love in the coming time./.
