Mr. Hoang Kim Long from Chau Nhan commune, a member of the volunteer group, said: "Before organizing the gift distribution, we surveyed the actual flood situation in the area. I myself went to Hanoi tonight for surgery to remove pins from my hand due to an electric shock accident, but today, I still rowed a boat with my colleagues to distribute gifts and encourage the people in the flooded villages."
