Speaking at the program, Ms. Ly Viet Trung, Editor-in-Chief of Ho Chi Minh City Women's Newspaper, Vice President of Ho Chi Minh City Journalists Association, shared: "The books, gifts, and scholarships today are the heartfelt gifts from the hard work of many people and businesses sent to the children. I hope the children will try their best to study well so as not to disappoint their parents and teachers and to become useful people for the future."

Mr. Nguyen Van Hoang, Permanent Vice Chairman of Thoi Lai District People's Committee, said that Thoi Lai is a rural area. The whole district has 63 poor households (accounting for 0.21% of the population) and 912 near-poor households (accounting for 3.07% of the population). Some students do not have full conditions to go to school. Therefore, the above gifts are very meaningful to them.

Ms. Ly Viet Trung, Editor-in-Chief of Ho Chi Minh City Women's Newspaper, presented the book to the Department of Education and Training of Thoi Lai District, Can Tho City.

"In particular, the Uncle Ho bookshelf will help students and teachers have more rich sources of documents to research, learn, raise awareness and enrich their knowledge. Hopefully, from now on, students will always have a diligent and hard-working learning attitude to always achieve good results in their studies," Mr. Hoang said.

"Uncle Ho's Bookcases Give Wings to Dreams" is a project launched by the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Newspaper's Youth Union to implement Directive No. 05-CT/TW of the Politburo on promoting the study and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle. Launched on May 24, the project has been implemented in two locations: Phuoc Binh B Primary School (Trang Bang Town, Tay Ninh) and Vinh Binh Bac Commune (Vinh Thuan District, Kien Giang). The project is expected to last until May 2025 with the goal of bringing many bookcases to schools in remote areas.
