Up to now, 3,084 orphans and children in difficult circumstances have been cared for and supported by the police of various units and localities, including 1,886 orphans due to various reasons who have been adopted and raised by the Women's Union at all levels. The above programs and activities have created a clear change in the awareness and role of officers and soldiers in educating and caring for children. Most of the sponsored children and grandchildren of police officers and soldiers study and practice well, are obedient and filial to their grandparents and parents, and have a sense of community building; many children have achieved high results in excellent student competitions at all levels, and are exemplary.
On behalf of the students attending the ceremony, Nguyen Ngoc Minh Thu, an 11th grader in Binh Thuan, shared her emotional story about the difficulties in life after losing both her parents at an early age and having to live with her grandmother. However, the COVID-19 pandemic also took away her closest relative and since then her life has encountered countless difficulties. In that situation, the Women's Association of Binh Thuan Provincial Police has stepped in to support her upbringing and it is the boundless love of the "mothers" that has helped her regain balance in life. The companionship of the provincial police women has helped her no longer be alone in life and is the motivation for her to strive to achieve excellent results in her studies.
Speaking at the meeting, President To Lam expressed his joy that this was his first meeting with the children in his capacity as President, and hoped that the children would continue to try harder, strive, study, practice, and implement Uncle Ho's teachings well; nurture the aspiration to build an increasingly better life; strive, practice, and achieve many results in studying, following in the footsteps of their fathers and brothers to build and protect our country to become increasingly rich and prosperous.
The President highly appreciated the initiative of the Ministry of Public Security in organizing the program “Summer Camp of Love”, implementing models of foster children of the Women's Police Association, and foster children of commune police. These are programs of profound humanitarian significance, providing opportunities for children of martyrs, children in difficult circumstances, and children with excellent academic achievements to meet, exchange, and learn with the spirit of love, sympathy, and solidarity, overcome difficulties, promote achievements to increasingly progress, and become useful citizens.
The President affirmed that implementing social policies, helping people in difficult circumstances, taking care of martyrs’ families, especially teenagers and children, is a fine tradition of our nation; at the same time, it is a consistent policy of the Party and State. Our Party, State and people have, are and will always give all their love and the most precious things to children with the spirit of “Children are like buds on a branch”.
