Volunteering is happiness and destiny in my life.

After storm No. 3 (typhoon Yagi) caused severe damage in Hanoi and the northern mountainous provinces in September 2024, many families suffered untold losses. However, in the midst of the disaster, the solidarity and contribution of compatriots across the country has somewhat eased the pain of the unfortunate.

Journalist Vu Thi Tuyet Nhung - Vice President of the Vietnam Women Journalists Club, is one of the individuals who actively participated in post-storm volunteer activities. Immediately after Typhoon Yagi swept through, she and her colleagues quickly made a relief plan, mobilized donors to donate, and brought practical gifts to the people of Yen Bai.

During two volunteer trips to Yen Bai, Ms. Nhung and the delegation presented gifts in kind and cash with a total value of more than 300 million VND. These gifts were delivered to disadvantaged families, especially those in Hong Ha ward, the area that suffered the most damage.

"When visiting a poor family who had just built a Great Solidarity house, but the flood destroyed everything, I felt very sad. We tried to bring valuable gifts to help them overcome their difficulties" - Journalist Vu Thi Tuyet Nhung shared.

During that volunteer journey, many tragic images are still deeply imprinted in the journalist’s mind. Ms. Nhung could not help but be moved when remembering the three children who lost both their parents in the landslide in Tran Yen district. The amount of more than 1.7 billion VND raised from the volunteer groups will help care for and treat the children, a difficult task.

Not only during Typhoon Yagi, journalist Vu Thi Tuyet Nhung has also been a pioneer in charity activities for many years. She has been associated with the program "Address for charitable hearts" - a famous program on Hanoi Radio and Television since the 1990s. This is a bridge of love, connecting philanthropists with people in difficult circumstances.

Journalist Vu Thi Tuyet Nhung shared: “The predecessor of the program “Charity Address” was the program “Address for Charitable Hearts”, launched in 1992. Up to now, Hanoi Radio and Television Station still maintains broadcasting this program and young reporters have continued the work. The program “Charity Address” was proposed by me, I was the editor-in-chief, main reporter, main editor and producer for many years. Although I am now retired, I continue my volunteer work through the Vietnam Women Journalists Club. The work went very smoothly and fortunately the program did not encounter any bad rumors”.

“Up to now, the Club’s volunteer group has hundreds of official members, many of whom participate in various activities. We have traveled to many rural areas, both in the suburbs and remote areas, where natural disasters, floods, poor people, or lonely elderly people and orphans need help. The volunteer group has organized programs to give scholarships, gifts, or support poor women with capital so that they can develop production and become the pillars of their families in the future,” journalist Vu Thi Tuyet Nhung emotionally recounted.

Although retired, journalist Vu Thi Tuyet Nhung continues to contribute to society through volunteer trips, helping poor women, orphans, and lonely elderly people. For her, kindness and sharing is a journey that never ends.

“Kindness is the most valuable ticket in this life that never expires”, this saying is perhaps a reflection of the entire life and charity career of Journalist Vu Thi Tuyet Nhung - a Hanoi woman who always devotes her whole heart to bringing good human values ​​to society.
