Having collected nearly 30 cartons of milk at home, Ms. Hong Van (Binh Thanh District) and her daughter happily came to exchange gifts at the Vinamilk experience space. “When I heard about the program, I instructed my child to follow it and he was very excited to wait until this morning to exchange gifts,” Ms. Van said.

Ms. Van also said that exchanging gifts is to motivate her children to do it, but the bigger meaning is to educate her children on how to live green, reuse used things around them, and protect the living environment.
