The three ladies sent their warmest greetings and affections to the children, teachers, staff and workers of SOS Children's Village Hanoi. The meeting with the children was warm and friendly.

SOS Children's Village Hanoi was established in 1988 and officially came into operation in January 1990 with the main function and task of receiving, caring for and raising orphans, abandoned children and children in especially difficult circumstances according to the alternative family model.

With the attention of the Government and authorities at all levels, local SOS Children's Villages have been established one after another. In those villages are SOS families that are always filled with laughter, love from mothers and sharing from brothers, sisters and children.

After more than 30 years of operation, SOS Children's Village Hanoi has cared for and raised nearly 600 children in special circumstances, of which nearly 400 have grown up to live independently, many of whom have their own happy families. Currently, the Village is directly caring for and raising more than 200 children.

At the meeting, the Vietnamese Prime Minister's wife hoped that the officers and staff of the Village would continue to fulfill their duties of caring for and nurturing abandoned children, orphans with no one to rely on, and children in special circumstances.

Besides material care, we need to pay special attention to spiritual care.

Madam Le Thi Bich Tran kindly visited, encouraged, shared thoughts and feelings with mothers, aunts, cadres, employees, teachers and together with the Malaysian Prime Minister's wife gave meaningful gifts to the children.

The wife of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato' Seri Dr. Wan Azizah binti Dr. Wan Ismail, expressed her impression that 400 children have grown up from SOS Children's Villages and achieved success in life.

Addressing the 200 children being cared for and nurtured here, the Malaysian Prime Minister's wife confided: "In life, you may encounter your own difficulties, but believe that you have an environment to study, a roof to be cared for. Therefore, you must study hard, have courage and confidence in yourself."

Dato' Seri Dr. Wan Azizah binti Dr. Wan Ismail emphasized that despite the wars, the country and people of Vietnam have always risen strongly.

She urged the children to continue to contribute and continue to promote the traditions of their Vietnamese ancestors, "because Vietnam is a country known for its high spirit of self-reliance and self-improvement."

The visit of the ladies left many deep impressions and was a valuable source of encouragement for the mothers, aunts, officers, staff and teachers of SOS Children's Villages to strive to fulfill their assigned tasks.
