The organizing committee gave 500 gift packages to children orphaned by Covid-19 living in districts 6, 11, Tan Phu, Binh Tan, and Binh Chanh.
The father of Nguyen Minh Khoi, 6, living in Binh Chanh District, died in the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021. Since then, his mother has struggled to raise Khoi and his elder sister alone. The Tet gift will help them have new clothes to celebrate the Tet holiday like other children.

As for Dang Nguyen Hoai Phuc, living in Binh Tan District, the Tet gift is extremely precious. After his mother died from Covid-19, his father has been working far away from home and occasionally coming home to visit him and his sister. The loving arms of the ward Women's Union members are the encouragement for the Phuc brothers over the past time. "I will buy my sister a new set of clothes, and I will save the rest of the money to buy textbooks for her," Hoai Phuc shared.
