Van Yen’s Red Cross Society multiplies good deeds

Tuesday, August 17, 2021

YBO - Van Yen District’s Red Cross Society has more than 3,500 members across its 27 commune-based chapters and 14,000 young volunteers.

Young people and civil servants in Van Yen participate in a “Red Journey” blood donating event in early 2021.

Since the beginning of this year, the society has developed plans for a number of charitable projects on responding to extreme weather events such as storms and whirlwinds, and raising donations of medical masks to aid the local COVID-19 control efforts.

It has also campaigned for help to build houses for poor families and provide them with seedlings and animal breeds.

Over the last six months, it has actively worked with communal administrations to give away about 5,200 leaflets raising public awareness of COVID-19 and present 7,000 face masks as well as a number of soap bars, hand sanitizers and cash worth up to 21 million VND to pandemic checkpoints.

The association has also accelerated awareness campaigns to call for people’s response to the national blood donation day on April 7, World Blood Donor Day on June 14, Red Sunday and Red Journey, attracting a large number of blood donors.

It has advised the district’s People’s Committee to establish a fundraising committee tasked to provide aid to needy people on the occasion of Tet (traditional Vietnamese New Year Festival). This year, the Red Cross Society has presented gift packages worth over 1 billion VND to 1,683 impoverished households so far.

It has supplied 22 tonnes of cement to build four children’s playgrounds in the communes of Mo Vang, Yen Phu, Yen Hop and Phong Du Thuong and called for donations of books, notebooks, and clothes for orphans and disadvantaged but studious students.
