"We were very touched by the situation of the two children. In the Club, everyone wanted to come and visit the children. There was only a small gift to give to the two children, but we still felt warm in our hearts" - Mr. Thai excitedly said.

A reader living in Ho Chi Minh City came to Nam Thai to give gifts to the children.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hong added that right after the article about Loc and Dat appeared in Nghe An newspaper, many readers called relatives and asked him to open an account to receive help from everyone. On the morning of October 3, he urgently went to the bank in Nam Dan town to open an account.

In recent days, along with visiting and giving gifts directly to the children at home, dozens of individuals and volunteer groups have sent money through the accounts of Nghe An Newspaper and Mr. Hong (Loc and Dat's maternal grandfather) to help the children, many of whom are studying and working abroad.
