Vinamilk pays tribute to the heroic Vietnamese mothers.

(Baonghean.vn) - To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the War Invalids and Martyrs Day on July 27th, at the end of July, representatives of the staff and employees of Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company organized visits to the heroic Vietnamese mothers whom the company has committed to supporting for life in Ben Tre and Quang Nam.

For many years, Vinamilk has been providing lifelong support to Vietnamese Heroic Mothers in My Thach, Luong Hoa, and Luong Phu communes in Giong Trom district, Ben Tre province, and Quang Nam province. Every year, on the occasion of the War Invalids and Martyrs Day (July 27th) and Lunar New Year, representatives of the company's trade union visit the mothers and their families, expressing gratitude for their contributions to the nation and wishing them good health and happiness.

Ms. Dang Thi Duong, residing in Luong Phu commune, Ben Tre province, was delighted to speak with representatives from Vinamilk.

Speaking of the losses these mothers endured, the entire delegation couldn't hide their emotions, as most of their husbands and sons sacrificed their lives in the war for national peace. Among them were Mrs. Ho Thi Nga, born in 1933, residing in Hamlet 4, Luong Hoa, who has been awarded the title of Heroic Vietnamese Mother twice and currently lives with her fifth daughter, and Mrs. Nguyen Thi Nhung, who lives with her children and grandchildren in Cam Ha, Hoi An, Quang Nam. Despite their advanced age and declining health, the mothers enthusiastically sat with the delegation, sharing stories about their husbands and sons during the war with immense pride in their eyes.

The families of mothers Nguyen Thi Luy, Ho Thi Kheo, Nguyen Thi Uc, etc., residing in Ben Tre, and Nguyen Thi Lo in Quang Nam, were also very happy and touched to receive the visit, conversation, and gifts from the delegation. In addition to the gifts given during the visit, the company also sent each mother a quarterly allowance, which helps the families cover their daily living expenses.

Through the sharing session, the visiting delegation was very pleased to see that all the families were exemplary cultural families, always leading by example in local movements and activities. Representatives from Luong Hoa commune, Giong Trom district, Ben Tre province, expressed their gratitude for Vinamilk's thoughtful attention to the sacrifices and losses of the heroic Vietnamese mothers over the past time, and thanked Vinamilk for its contributions to the development of the commune.

Representatives from Vinamilk visited, encouraged, and presented gifts to Mrs. Nguyen Thi Nhung, residing in Cam Ha, Hoi An, Quang Nam.

Visiting Vietnamese Heroic Mothers not only demonstrates Vinamilk's tradition of "showing gratitude" and "remembering the source of the water we drink," but also brings joy and comfort to the mothers in their twilight years. Therefore, many mothers, though no longer mentally sharp due to old age, are still very happy to recognize familiar members of Vinamilk who have participated in such trips many times before.

The program honoring Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, along with the Vietnam Rising Milk Fund and the One Million Green Trees for Vietnam Fund, are social responsibility programs that Vinamilk has actively implemented for many years, contributing to the community alongside boosting its production and business activities.

To date, the Vietnam Milk for Development Fund has provided over 388,000 disadvantaged children with more than 31.4 million glasses of milk, equivalent to a total value of 128.6 billion VND. Simultaneously, the One Million Trees for Vietnam Fund has planted over 400,000 trees of various types, valued at nearly 6 billion VND, in more than 20 provinces and cities nationwide, contributing to greening and improving the environment of the country.

Children excitedly hold their glasses of milk at the ceremony to donate 87,000 glasses of milk, equivalent to 550,000,000 VND, in Can Tho on October 25, 2016.

In addition, a series of workshops for the elderly are regularly organized not only to create a community of elderly people with healthy lifestyles and nutrition, but also to provide a platform for everyone to socialize, meet, and share life experiences and secrets to maintaining health in the most scientific and effective way.
