These are small gifts but have great meaning of encouragement, helping the children feel more clearly the warm atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Members of the Department of Industry and Trade of Ho Chi Minh City are busy preparing gifts for the children.

Mr. Nguyen Han Dung, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade Youth Union, said: “Mid-Autumn Festival is an occasion for union members to share with the community, especially to join hands to care for disadvantaged students in remote areas. This year, the unit chose Can Gio commune to bring a beautiful childhood memory, adding joy and motivation for students to confidently step into the new school year. This is also an opportunity for union members and young people to demonstrate their responsibility to the community and society.”

Before joining the program, the children will have a snack with dishes such as chicken pho, chicken vermicelli...

According to Mr. Nguyen Han Dung, representative of the Organizing Committee, the program is part of a series of activities of the Youth Union in 2025 with the theme "Youth of Ho Chi Minh City, proud, firmly following the Party", welcoming the 1st Congress of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee (term 2025 - 2030) and the 1st Congress of Youth Union members of the Department of Industry and Trade (term 2025 - 2030).
