This is the second relief trip of Nghe An Newspaper for the people here.
Accompanying Nghe An Newspaper on this relief trip, Nghe An Agricultural Materials Joint Stock Corporation supported 1 truck of Thien Nhan mineral water including 175 20-liter water barrels (worth 16.8 million VND). In addition, the Company also supported a truck carrying 2 tons of rice and essential goods to Quy Chau.
Officers and employees of Vinh Urban Environment and Construction Company also donated 1 ton of rice (worth 17 million VND) to support people in the flood-hit area of Quy Chau - this is also one of the meaningful activities of the Company before the 50th anniversary of the unit's establishment.
At exactly 5:00 a.m., after the goods were carefully arranged on the vehicle, Nghe An Newspaper started to depart from Vinh city to Quy Chau district to support and help people who were severely affected by the floods in late September 2023.
Although the weather was quite hot, the officers, reporters and staff of Nghe An Newspaper participating in the relief trip were very active in all work, proactively connecting with localities and units in Quy Chau district to ensure the relief work went smoothly.
At exactly 8:30 am, Nghe An Newspaper arrived in Quy Chau district. Welcoming and accompanying Nghe An Newspaper to the gift-giving points were Mr. Sam Van Lan - Deputy Head of the Propaganda Department of Quy Chau District Party Committee, representatives of the leaders of the district Fatherland Front Committee, and communes affected by floods.
During this relief trip, Nghe An Newspaper gave necessities and essential goods to two villages in Chau Binh commune, Chau Thang Primary School and Quy Chau High School.
At Khe Khoang and Khe Can villages (Chau Binh commune), Nghe An Newspaper gave each village 500 kg of rice, 50 barrels of water and 11 cash packages (each package worth 500,000 VND); gave 1 ton of rice and 40 barrels of water to boarding students of Quy Chau High School affected by floods and 10 million VND to support teachers who participated in overcoming the consequences of natural disasters; gave 1,460 student notebooks and 35 barrels of water to Chau Thang Primary School.
The total value of goods and necessities to support people in the flood-hit areas of Quy Chau in both phases is estimated at over 166 million VND (of which officers, reporters, employees and children of Nghe An Newspaper donated over 40 million VND, the rest came from readers, organizations and benefactors).
Moved by the help from Nghe An Newspaper and readers, Ms. Lim Thi Tuyet in Khe Khoang village, Chau Binh commune (Quy Chau) said that the recent flood had washed away all the property and food in the house. Thanks to the care of Nghe An Newspaper and other benefactors, her family now has more rice and drinking water to continue for many days to come. The rice in the fields was flooded and damaged; replanting will have to wait until next year.
Ms. Tran Thi Hang - Principal of Chau Thang Primary School said that after many days of efforts by the teaching staff and local authorities to overcome the consequences of the flood, on October 4, the school's students returned to school. The flood caused flooding in classrooms, causing extensive damage to school equipment and supplies, with estimated damage of over 4 billion VND. The school received support from Nghe An Newspaper with 1,460 student notebooks and drinking water. This is a meaningful gift to help the school and students overcome difficulties to study with peace of mind; at the same time, she hopes that Nghe An Newspaper and benefactors will continue to join hands and help so that the school can purchase new equipment and teaching and learning aids.
Previously, on October 1, after learning about the damage caused by floods to people in the western districts of Nghe An (in which Quy Chau district was the most severely affected), Nghe An Newspaper and readers directly went to the places to give 3 tons of rice and other essential goods to Chau Hanh, Chau Thang, Chau Tien communes, Quy Chau district. These are the 3 communes that suffered heavy damage due to the flood on the night of September 27.
