According to the rules, each individual participates by sending photos, clips, songs, poems about the colleague they love to the organizing committee. After the organizing committee judges and summarizes the scores on the company's fanpage, valuable prizes will be awarded to the authors on International Day of Happiness. From this interesting "topic", many messages and loving shares between colleagues have been sent.

Ms. Vuong Thi Huong - an employee of the Human Resources Department and also a member of the Organizing Committee, excitedly shared: "When I received the contest entries, I was really surprised by the literary ability of my colleagues. I was even more moved by the sincere and good feelings that everyone had for each other. For them, the company is home and colleagues have become blood brothers, standing by each other in times of sadness and joy, sharing every memory. The contest has become a small forum for everyone to understand each other and send messages.warm family love".

The humanity in this emotional contest is not limited to the company. At the end of his contest clip, Mr. Le Nghia (Maintenance Department) said: “I made this contest entry hoping to receive support from everyone. If there is a prize, the prize money will be sent to Dau Thi Nhat Le (born 2009), in Mai Thai village, Nghia Mai commune (Nghia Dan). She has had a congenital heart disease since childhood, the family has only 2 mother and child, very difficult. Currently, Le is being treated at Hanoi Heart Hospital in poor health condition”.

The poem “Living is giving, not just receiving” that Mr. Nghia used in his entry is also the message that many departments in the company want to spread on this occasion. In the series of activities towards the International Day of Happiness, employees in the departments used their welfare money to bring happiness to others and bring value to the community.

Specifically, the Maintenance Department registered to repair electricity and water, and reinforce houses for 2 families with especially difficult circumstances in the area; the Quality Management Department and office staff will sponsor packaging, trash cans and participate in the program.collect garbage at seaCua Lo, planting trees at Nghia Hoi commune stadium (Nghia Dan)...

As the person who directly surveyed the difficult circumstances to support home repairs, Mr. Tang Ngoc Lan - Maintenance Department Manager shared: "The image of a mother carrying her 3-month-old baby down to the field in the rain and the meal of only 1 boiled snail dish of 1 of these 2 families has haunted me forever. Initially, we only intended to support electrical repairs and give away a few essential household items. But witnessing their situation, I wanted to propose donating more to install doors and make beds for them...".

Mr. Lan's concern is also a very humane concern and sympathy between people. Currently, the meaningful programs of the workers at May Forestry Joint Stock Company are completing the final preparations and will be deployed simultaneously this weekend, on the International Day of Happiness.

In 2014, for the first time, Vietnam officially organized activities to celebrate the International Day of Happiness (March 20) with the theme "Love and share" and the call: Inheriting and promoting the good traditional values ​​and filial piety of the Vietnamese people; loving and sharing to find for ourselves and help those around us, first of all our family and loved ones, to have many moments of true happiness... In the following years, this day has become a day of practical and positive actions to help and support each other, bringing joy and happiness to many people.

In the past few days of March, many farmers in Nghe An were devastated because their agricultural products were not purchased after harvest. The sight of spoiled vegetables and tubers being left lying around in the fields, the salty tears on the faces of the miserable farmers made anyone feel sorry. Not standing outside the suffering of the people, the trade union organization accompanied the people to rescue agricultural products with the spirit of mutual love and support.

Launching the cabbage rescue program right now"Ao Dai Week", Dien Chau District Labor Union spent more than 10 days accompanying farmers to find a place to sell more than 800 tons of cabbage. During those 10 days, workers, officials, and laborers of the union stood in the fields, harvested cabbage like farmers, connected supply and demand like traders, and carried and transported like shippers.

As one of the most active union members in this rescue campaign, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong - Chairwoman of the Dien Phong Commune Union shared: “Immediately after receiving the dispatch from the Dien Chau District Labor Federation, we launched a cabbage rescue program in schools and grassroots unions. A delay, even just one day, will greatly affect the quality of this short-term agricultural product. Since then, the phones of union officials like us have been ringing continuously, the rescue team works regardless of day or night, noon or night, whenever there is an order, we run to the fields to pick up the vehicle, distribute, and support the people”.

Also during these days, the Nghia Dan District Labor Federation is calling on all levels of unions, organizations, and individuals to join hands to rescue PQ tangerines for union members and farmers in the area. Thanks to the enthusiasm and spread of the program, after only 3 days of launching, 40 tons of tangerines were rescued. In many units, union members even went to the gardens to participate in picking, packing, and transporting.

Ms. Chu Thi Le - a union member whose tangerine garden was rescued on this occasion, emotionally shared: “Thanks to the program of the Nghia Dan District Union, my family as well as other households in the commune were able to save most of the tangerines until harvest. I was very moved when I saw the relief convoys for the flood victims, but I did not expect that now I would receive the same sharing. Looking at the bags of tangerines going back and forth on the roads, I feel extremely grateful.”

Not only is it a story of rescue, over the years, the trade union organization in general and the trade union levels in Nghe An province in particular have carried out many meaningful programs, bringing value to the community. These are charity programs for people in remote areas, donating blood to save people, contributing bricks to build schools, Tet for the poor, showing gratitude to those who have contributed to the revolution... In each of those meaningful programs, whether big or small, there are always silent sacrifices of individuals who consider the joy of others as their own happiness.
