On January 30, at Da Phuoc High School (Da Phuoc Commune, Binh Chanh District), the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee - Mobilization, Management and Use Board of the "For the Poor" Fund of Ho Chi Minh City; the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee - Mobilization, Management and Use Board of the "For the Poor" Fund of Binh Chanh District and VWS Company visited and gave Tet gifts to households in the three communes of Phong Phu, Quy Duc and Da Phuoc.
VWS Company gave 200 gifts to 200 disadvantaged households, each gift worth 1 million VND including cash and essential necessities for Tet, with a total cost of 200 million VND.
Ms. Huynh Lan Phuong, Deputy General Director of VWS Company, gave a Tet gift to Mr. Phuong Thanh Tung.
Struggling to slowly rock his wheelchair to receive the gift, Mr. Phuong Thanh Tung (78 years old, residing in Hamlet 1, Da Phuoc Commune) burst into tears when Ms. Huynh Lan Phuong, Deputy General Director of VWS Company, asked about his situation. Mr. Tung said that both he and his wife were old and had many illnesses, their children were grown but unemployed, and life was extremely difficult.
Previously, Mr. Tung sold lottery tickets and earned a little money, just enough to get by. However, due to his stroke, he cannot move around as much as before, and often has to go out on the street and wait for the kindness of passersby.
"Luckily, the local authorities always care about my family's situation, and charity programs always give gifts. Today, I was very touched to receive Tet gifts from the company, which helped me feel more secure and happier as Tet approaches," Mr. Tung shared.
Upon learning about Mr. Tung’s situation, Ms. Lan Phuong could not help but be moved and encouraged him to try harder. At the same time, she sent a small gift of her own, wishing Mr. Tung good health and happiness in the new year.
VWS Company donated 200 Tet gifts to help the needy in 3 communes: Phong Phu, Quy Duc, Da Phuoc
Expressing her joy at receiving Tet gifts, Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai (75 years old, residing in Quy Duc commune) sent her thanks to VWS Company and local leaders for caring for the disadvantaged and needy.
"I hope that more people in the same situation as me will receive attention and support from the company and the locality. Tet is coming, seeing everyone excitedly shopping for Tet, I have no money so I feel sad. Today's gifts not only come at the right time, helping us feel warm, but also motivate us to have more faith in life," said Ms. Mai.
Ms. Huynh Lan Phuong said that Mr. David Duong - the founder and current Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of California Waste Solutions (CWS) and VWS Company, when he started investing in Vietnam, set aside a portion of his budget to implement social security programs. Although the budget was not large, it was Mr. David Duong's heart and goodwill towards those in need of support.
"When approaching many situations, the company realized that it was impossible to cover all the poor in society, but always tried its best. The company connected with the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, localities of Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Chanh District to be able to accompany and join hands in supporting people in difficult circumstances. What is more joyful is that from our work, there have been more benefactors extending their arms, so that more people can be cared for and helped," Ms. Phuong shared.
According to Ms. Truong Thoai Linh, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Binh Chanh District, VWS Company has been very active in taking care of social security activities in the district. During holidays, the company has supported with meaningful gifts for disadvantaged households in the area, especially in the three communes of Phong Phu, Quy Duc, and Da Phuoc.
"On behalf of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Binh Chanh district and the people who received Tet gifts today, we would like to send our sincere thanks to VWS Company for creating all conditions for local people as well as supporting the district in local volunteer work," Ms. Linh expressed.
