Speaking at the event, lawyer Doan Van Nen, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Club of Experts Supporting Young Workers, emphasized that the program was to support underprivileged students in their pursuit of education, while spreading love and fostering a sense of community responsibility among residents in remote areas. He noted that such initiatives help strengthen military–civilian ties and consolidate the great national unity bloc in the current context.
Looking ahead, the organizing panel aims to call for further contributions from institutions, individuals, and businesses to expand the model and organize more community-oriented activities across the country.
