A warm holiday stop

This year’s National Day holiday on September 2nd lasts 4 days, from August 30th to September 2nd. On the morning of August 30th, in Tay Ninh – the gateway connecting Ho Chi Minh City with the Western provinces, there was a large number of people and vehicles passing by.

Bottles of water and meaningful cakes were handed out, giving people more energy on their journey home.

To boost the spirits of people on their journey home, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Long An Ward, Tay Ninh Province, along with socio-political organizations, with the support of La Vie Company Limited and philanthropists, organized a "Loving Stop", giving free drinks and cakes to passersby.

From early morning, union members, youth, women's union members, and farmers were present to transport and carefully prepare mineral water and cakes, and hand them out to the people, with the hope of helping them to be less tired, continue their journey safely, and enjoy the joy of reunion.

Vice President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the ward, President of the Women's Union of Long An ward Tran Thi Phuong Uyen shared: "On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and socio -political organizations of Long An ward mobilized about 5,000 bottles of water and 300 portions of cake to support people on their way home. We wish to contribute a small part, accompanying people on the occasion of Independence Day".

Each gift given brings joy to people on their journey back home.

Not only sharing material things, the small gifts also contain the heart of the whole community sent to people far from home.

Secretary of the Youth Union of Binh Cu 1 residential area, Long An ward Huynh Hoai Vu expressed: "Although the weather this morning was unfavorable, with heavy rain, all forces are ready. The water and cakes, although not of great value, are the sentiments we want to convey to the people."

People are excited to be given a boost on the long journey home to reunite with their families.

For the people, each bottle of water and cake on the long journey brings joy and motivation. Ms. Bành Thị Kim Cố (from An Giang ) said: “I started my hometown at 6am, the distance was quite far, so on the way there were water and cake distribution points like this, I felt very happy and warm. Seeing the young people standing in the rain, handing them out to passersby, I felt the kindness and care of the local people for the people”.
