Warm program 'Tet connecting love'

(Baonghean.vn) - In order to bring a warmer Tet to disadvantaged families, in the days before the Dinh Dau Tet, Thanh Chuong youth coordinated with local agencies and units to organize the program "Tet connecting love"

Implementing the District Youth Union's plan, promoting activities towards "Tet for the poor", more than 60 commune, town, school and agency youth unions across Thanh Chuong district have simultaneously deployed activities to help and support the poor to celebrate Tet, especially focusing on those in especially difficult circumstances who "will not have Tet" if not helped.

The program has attracted a large number of union members and young people to join hands to help the poor with practical activities such as visiting, giving gifts, cleaning, repairing houses, chopping firewood, decorating altars, wrapping and cooking banh chung, making New Year's Eve dinner...

Each commune and town union helped one family, each high school and continuing education center union helped two families, and the affiliated union block helped seven families. In each locality, the grassroots union organization selected typical situations to help.

As one of the most disadvantaged families in Dung town, her husband just passed away from cancer, her children are still young, her mother-in-law is sick and cannot walk, the family of Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong (34 years old) in block 10, has received help from the Youth Union of the residential block and the Youth Union of the District Party Committee. Early in the morning, colleagues from various agencies were present at Ms. Hong's family, organized visits, encouraged, and gave many gifts of clothes, food, necessities, and cash to the family...

Next, the members of the group quickly started cleaning, sweeping, repairing, and redecorating the altar, setting up the fruit tray, and wrapping and cooking cakes in the middle of the yard.

After a morning of hard work, the Tet atmosphere at the most difficult family in the block became warmer and more thoughtful. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong, block 10, a difficult family in town, emotionally said: “Since Mr. Huong passed away, my family, which was already poor, has become even more miserable. This Tet, if there were no care and help from departments, organizations, and everyone, my family would have no Tet. Thank you for the hearts and feelings of all the youth in the district.”

In some communes, the Youth Union pays special attention to poor policy families. Besides visiting, giving gifts, decorating altars, Youth Union members also repair houses. Mr. Nguyen Van Hoan's family in Thanh My commune (Mr. Hoan's father was a martyr in the period 1930-1931) has been living in a dilapidated, leaky house for a long time. On this occasion, the Thanh My commune Youth Union re-roofed the house so that his family could celebrate Tet with peace of mind.

In Thanh Duong commune, besides organizing fundraising activities, giving gifts to poor families in general, free haircuts for students, they also care for lonely elderly people such as the families of Nguyen Thi Vien (96 years old), Nguyen Thi Huynh (91 years old) - mothers of martyrs...

As for the youth of Nguyen Canh Chan High School, in addition to giving dozens of gifts to poor students, they also visited and gave gifts to families with difficult circumstances and illnesses in Thanh Hung and Thanh Phong communes. Especially, they went to the homes of students with the most difficult circumstances in the school to help.

At these families, the delegation gave gifts of essential items such as pots, pans, bowls, food and cash, and helped the families renovate their houses to prepare for Tet.

Taking place before the New Year of the Rooster, the program "Tet connecting love" with practical activities of Thanh Chuong youth has brought families in difficult circumstances in the district a warmer Tet, contributing to resonate and spread the movement "Tet for the poor" of the whole society.
