Mid-Autumn Festival is an opportunity for us to look back at ourselves and realize that happiness is not when we have everything, but when we know how to share with those around us.

Mid-Autumn Festival is an occasion for people to gather with family and friends, enjoy delicious moon cakes; children are busy carrying lanterns, "watching the moon". However, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is very different because there are still lives facing difficulties and losses due to natural disasters, especially people in flood-hit areas in the North.
According to the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, this year, Mid-Autumn Festival programs and events have been shortened, focusing on giving gifts to children in difficult circumstances, especially in ethnic minority areas, remote areas, border areas, islands, and areas affected by natural disasters and floods.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival was full of emotions, with simple activities and many small gifts from students sent to children in flood-hit areas. Many provinces, cities, units and schools have decided to stop entertainment activities to save money to support people affected by storm No. 3. In the context of people being severely affected by storms and floods, the Mid-Autumn Festival is an opportunity to show compassion and the spirit of sharing.
As the storm passes, leaving behind heartbreaking scenes of loss, help from the community and charities becomes extremely important. Activities such as donating, giving gifts, organizing volunteer activities not only help ease the pain of those affected, but also convey a message of community solidarity and responsibility towards each other. Small, simple actions can bring joy and hope to those in need.

Indeed, each of us cannot help but feel heartbroken at the sight of houses submerged in water, ruined homes, children's faces huddled in a corner, many children not being able to go to school, many students this year not being able to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival... Mid-Autumn Festival is not only an occasion for us to have fun, but also an opportunity to show our love and care for those less fortunate. Each gift sent to the flooded area carries a warm message, sharing the difficulties with our fellow countrymen, and is also an opportunity to educate children about compassion.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we do not forget the important task of educating the young generation about compassion. Children are the future of the country, and educating them about compassion, sharing and responsibility to the community is extremely important to create kind people in the future. Let's create opportunities for children to participate in volunteer activities, from donating old clothes and books to participating in charity fundraising events. In this way, children will understand that helping others is not only an obligation, but also a part of our lives, because "giving is receiving".
Along with that, parents and teachers should also encourage children to show kindness through small daily actions, such as helping friends, sharing toys, or simply listening and caring for others. These actions will help children build positive habits and thinking about helping and sharing.

Besides, Mid-Autumn Festival is also an opportunity for us to look back at ourselves and realize that happiness is not when we have everything, but when we know how to share with those around us. Compassion and empathy are noble values that we need to cherish, preserve and promote.
However, educating children about kindness is a long-term process, requiring perseverance and continuous practice. Family is the first and most important environment to shape children's personality. Create a warm, loving family atmosphere so that children feel safe and happy. Consider this an opportunity to sow the seeds of kindness in children's hearts. Through practical and meaningful activities, children can form good qualities and become useful citizens for society.
This year, in his Mid-Autumn Festival greetings to children nationwide, General Secretary and President To Lam wrote: "I really hope that every Mid-Autumn Festival, you will have a happier, more fulfilling, and more meaningful festival, both materially and spiritually, thanks to the care of your family, school, and society... This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is not complete because natural disasters have caused serious consequences for many families, villages, hamlets, and communes. Many children have unfortunately lost their lives; many have lost loved ones, lost their homes, and are living in extremely difficult circumstances. I would like to express my deepest condolences to the relatives and families of the children who are victims of storms and floods, and hope that we will all be brave enough to overcome this pain and loss...".
Let the Mid-Autumn Festival not only be a holiday, but also an occasion to arouse the spirit of solidarity, sharing and compassion in each of us. With practical and meaningful actions, we can make this Mid-Autumn Festival more special, like the lyrics "Vietnamese people have brown skin, black eyes, fragrant and indomitable like lotus branches"... in the song "A lap of Vietnam". Moreover, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also an opportunity for us to recognize and practice humane values in life. Thereby, not only creating a better living environment but also building a future generation full of compassion and responsibility.
