Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company (Vinamilk) has handed over 500 cartons of milk and nearly 400 gifts including backpacks, notebooks, pens, and school supplies to people and students in four mountainous communes of Nghe An.
Tuong Duong, Luong Minh, My Ly and Nhon Mai are the four communes that were severely affected by the historic flood after storm No. 3, with more than 400 houses completely swept away, causing heavy damage to the locality and people. The storm left behind flash floods and landslides that disrupted traffic, damaged houses, swept away many properties and seriously affected people's lives.
Vinamilk's relief team arrived promptly, bringing 500 cartons of milk and nearly 400 gifts including backpacks, notebooks, pens and school supplies to the people and students in the flooded areas. These were not only material gifts, but also sincere care and affection from thousands of hearts of Vinamilk's staff and employees.
After the flood, the road leading to the highland communes of Tuong Duong, Luong Minh, My Ly, and Nhon Mai became extremely difficult. The sun was blazing hot, the heat was nearly 40 degrees sweltering on every inch of skin, but the working group still persevered through landslides, muddy soil, and jagged rocks.Although it has been two weeks since the storm, the scene of devastation is still everywhere, people are still struggling to recover from the flood, with many hardships and shortages. Many landslides have caused vehicles to stop, goods have to be passed by hand through difficult roads.The first destination of the delegation was Thach Duong village (Tuong Duong commune, Nghe An) located on the banks of Lam river. This is one of the villages that suffered the most damage in the recent storm and flood. More than 110 households here were affected, many houses and properties were swept away or severely damaged.Mr. Nguyen Danh Dao - Director of Nghe An Milk Factory (belonging to Vinamilk) and members of the delegation visited, encouraged and gave milk and gifts to people in Tuong Duong commune, hoping that people will quickly stabilize their lives.Representing Vinamilk, Mr. Trinh Xuan Dat - Chairman of the Trade Union of Nghe An Dairy Factory shared: "Behind each milk box and gift is the heart of Vinamilk people. We hope that this companionship will be a source of encouragement for people to be more steadfast and children to continue going to school and nurturing their dreams."Continuing the journey, the group arrived at Luong Minh commune. The cartons of milk and gifts were handed out to the people and students, giving them energy after many days of deprivation.Mr. Nguyen Van Thang - Secretary of the Party Committee of Luong Minh Commune (Nghe An) on behalf of the local people sent deep thanks to Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company (Vinamilk) and the entire delegation.Traveling more than 150km, the working group arrived at the border commune of My Ly. This is one of the localities that suffered the most serious damage with more than 200 houses completely swept away by the flood. Gifts, milk boxes and sincere words of encouragement helped to ease the pain of loss of the people here.“The flood swept everything away, now we are left with nothing, not knowing where to turn. In the most difficult time, Vinamilk traveled a long distance to bring milk and gifts to our people. The gifts not only helped us ease our hardships but also provided us with spiritual encouragement, giving us the confidence to get up and start our lives over again,” said Ms. Vi Thi Luong (My Ly commune).Closing the journey, the delegation arrived at Nhon Mai commune - a mountainous commune with many difficulties in transportation and life. Cartons of milk and gifts continued to be handed directly to the people and students here.
Amidst many hardships, dirty faces and eyes that were once bewildered by the flood suddenly lit up with joy when the delegation brought gifts from Vinamilk, especially gifts for the children.
In the eyes of the children, there is not only the joy of receiving gifts, but also hope – hope for a better school year, despite the storm that has turned everything upside down. It is a moment that makes all the hardships of the long journey seem light, because faith and love are always present, after the stormy days.
