(Baonghean.vn) - Thinking of the people who are struggling to overcome the heavy damage caused by storms and floods, the medical staff and doctors of Cua Dong General Hospital put aside their busy work, quickly prepared hundreds of gifts, and followed the call of their hearts...
The journey to the flood victims in Ky Son by the officers, doctors, and medical staff of Cua Dong General Hospital began at dawn, in rainy and windy weather, with steep, muddy, and slippery mountain roads ahead. However, the images of the hard-working and needy people waiting eagerly gave the volunteers more motivation to make determined efforts.

After more than 7 hours of traveling nearly 300 km, the group arrived at Muong Xen town, where the fierce flood had just passed. The roads were still muddy, many sections were flooded, many buildings and offices were still being cleaned up after the flood, traces of mud were still scattered everywhere.
To get to the flood-hit Ta Ca area, the group had to borrow motorbikes to continue transporting goods, following muddy and flooded roads.

The white-shirt soldiers have now become dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers, working with the locals to carry goods, use motorbikes to transport necessities, and personally distribute small gifts...
After a long and difficult journey, the group reached Son Ha and Hoa Son villages, Ta Ca commune, where the flood was most devastating. The scene after the flood was still desolate, the roads were still piled with rocks and dirt, muddy, and crisscrossed with ruts from vehicles entering for relief. The roofs were dilapidated and ruined… The villagers here were still in shock after struggling with the fierce flood.

The elderly and women still had a look of bewilderment and worry on their faces, but their smiles warmed up again when they received the gifts "wrapped with love" from the staff and doctors of Cua Dong General Hospital.
Mr. Vi Nhu Cuong - Cultural officer of Ta Ca commune shared: "Ta Ca people are grateful for the kind hearts of Cua Dong General Hospital for supporting 250 gifts (cash and supplies, necessities and a number of medicines) worth 120 million VND; practically helping families whose houses were swept away, poor households affected by the flood to overcome difficulties, ensure health to soon stabilize their lives".
Looking at the radiant faces of joy and receiving words of thanks from the local people, the white-shirted volunteers felt warm inside, all fatigue and hardship seemed to disappear...
