Delegates text "TS" to portal 1405 to contribute money to the Truong Son Sentiment Fund |
This program, part of an array of meaningful and practical activities in the buildup to the 60th traditional day of Truong Son troops (May 19, 1959), aims to mobilize people to donate money to the Truong Son Sentiment Fund, an expression of deep gratitude to Truong Son troops who bravely fought, served and worked along the Truong Son road in the war against foreign invaders.
Accordingly, each message with the text “TS” sent to portal 1405 from October 1 to November 29 this year will contribute VND 20,000 to the fund.
Since its establishment in May 2011, the association has called for more support from society to build gratitude houses and present gifts to its poor members and policy beneficiaries nationwide. Such supports are seen as a source of encouragement to former Truong Son troops to overcome adversity in life on one hand; and a demonstration of deep gratitude of Vietnamese people to Truong Son’s troops’ contributions to the national salvation on the other hand.
