At the function, the provincial VFF Central Committee reported that it has transferred more than VND 2 billion (USD 88,000) from donors to about 5,000 needy families, aided some 6,000 households with close to VND 5 billion (USD 220,000) for hunger alleviation, and presented about 3,000 gifts for social welfare beneficiaries and disadvantaged people so far this year.

Since the beginning of July, many local families have had their property damaged by floods. As of September 5, donations from 32 provinces and cities nationwide for the victims amounted to VND 7.5 billion (USD 330,000). The VFF also sent more than VND 1.5 billion (USD 66,000) and 20 tons of rice.

Man acknowledged the efforts and asked the provincial VFF chapter to improve its social monitoring function, particularly in flood relief and distribution of flood aid.

On the occasion, Man visited and presented gifts to needy students at the Dien Bien Ethnic Boarding High School and a number of flood-hit households in Dien Bien district’s Muong Phang commune.
