41,000 milk boxes sent to children in Phu Tho

On May 31, on the occasion of International Children's Day, the Ministry of Health organized the launching ceremony of the Month of Action for Children in Phu Tho with the message "Prioritizing resources to complete goals for children". The ceremony was attended by more than 300 children, aiming to promote the movement of the whole people to care for, educate and protect children. During the program, Vinamilk and the Vietnam Grow Up Milk Fund donated 41,000 milk boxes, equivalent to 300 million VND, to help improve nutrition and health for disadvantaged children in the province.

Mr. Tran Dang Khoa - Deputy Director of the Department of Mothers and Children, Ministry of Health said: "We all know that nutrition plays an important role in children's development. During the period from 0 to 8 years old, nutrition plays a particularly important role in physical, mental and motor development, helping children have good stature, physical strength and intelligence later on. Therefore, we highly appreciate nutrition programs for children".

The working delegation visited and gave gifts to "mothers" and more than 100 orphaned children and children in especially difficult circumstances at SOS Children's Village Viet Tri.

"We believe that after this benefit, the physical condition of the children at the center will improve. Hopefully, not only at SOS Children's Village Viet Tri, Vinamilk will continue to bring this source of nutritious milk to many children in difficult circumstances across the country," said Mr. Le Xuan Tung - Director of SOS Children's Village Viet Tri (Phu Tho).

"Join hands to light up dreams"

That is the message Vinamilk wishes to spread when accompanying the program "Lighting up dreams" organized by the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Children's Rights in coordination with Ben Tre province on May 31, aiming at special events in June. Accordingly, Vinamilk brought gifts and milk to nearly 400 children and 100 people from families with revolutionary contributions and families in difficult circumstances in the locality.

More than just gifts, the joy of childhood is being able to express one's talents, speak one's thoughts and dreams, and receive encouragement, care, and love from the community.

Business representatives also visited and encouraged children in special circumstances who are being cared for and studying at SOS Children's Village Ben Tre. Mr. Do Thanh Tuan - Director of External Relations of Vinamilk shared: "The Month of Action for Children is an opportunity for us to review the responsibility and role of the whole society in caring for future generations. And not only on this occasion, Vinamilk has been and will always strive with child care activities, steadfast in its mission: so that all children have equal access to nutritional products of the best quality".
