Gifts presented to poor Khmer ethnic students in Tay Ninh’s border area

On this occasion, the delegation presented 100 gift sets, including school bags, notebooks, shirts, and 10 bicycles, worth VND 90 million in total, to children of needy veterans and Khmer people in the locality.

Senior Colonel Nguyen Hong Thai, head of the bureau of the Vietnam Veterans’ Newspaper in Ho Chi Minh City, speaks at the ceremony.

Thanks to the care of the Tay Ninh province’s authorities, border guard force, businesses, and benefactors, the living conditions of the Khmer people have improved significantly. However, some students still lack essential school supplies, clothing, and bicycles. In response, the Vietnam Veterans’ Newspaper has mobilized donations from businesses and benefactors. These gifts are significant, helping students from needy families of veterans and of the Khmer community start the new school year with greater confidence.
