Speaking at the program, Chairwoman of the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Union Nguyen Thi Ngoc Xuan said that, guided by the principle of focusing on grassroots communities and placing women members at the center of all union activities, the organizers selected Can Gio Commune to host a series of practical and meaningful social welfare initiatives. The program aims to improve the material and spiritual well-being of women, children, and residents while inspiring greater confidence and motivation for women members, individuals, and families to strive for a better life and contribute to building prosperous, progressive, and happy families.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Xuan emphasized that, in the time ahead, the work of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, including women's affairs, should continue to be renewed with a stronger grassroots focus, clearly defined tasks, and well-targeted beneficiaries. The Ho Chi Minh City Women's Union will translate resolutions and work programs into concrete actions, continue to improve the material and spiritual well-being of women and children, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
At the program, the Political Department of Military Region 7, in coordination with the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Union, presented 100 gifts to policy beneficiary families, poor and near-poor households, and women members in Can Gio Commune. The organizers also donated 20 bicycles to local students, helping provide them with better conditions for studying and daily commuting.
