The move aimed to help the poor residents celebrate the traditional festival without worry. The fund will also present 1,000 gift packages to needy people in Van Chan district.

+ The standing board of the provincial Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Committee and the Secretariat of the provincial Vietnam Youth Federation chapter have coordinated with Tien Phong Newspaper, the provincial Department of Health, and Yen Binh district’s People's Committee to organize the 14th edition of the blood donation event "Red Sunday”, attracting 150 volunteering donors.

Nearly 80 blood units were collected at the event. With the message "Donating blood to save lives - Your life and mine", the programme is of great significance in the time when Yen Bai and the country at large are doubling efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 resulting in a blood shortage in many areas. The blood donation event is expected to help increase blood supply for emergencies and treatment, especially on the occasion of Tet holiday.
