Ms. Le Lan Phuong, a member of the group, shared: "Organizing the Mid-Autumn Festival for children with the idea of doing everything by hand is for no other purpose than helping children understand the true value of the Mid-Autumn Festival as a family reunion day, a traditional festival, not just a holiday to give gifts or shop."
