Hundreds of gifts delivered ahead of Tet
On January 30-31, the Provincial Youth Union partnered with Changshin Vietnam Co., Ltd., Han-Viet Logistics and Trading Co., Ltd., and the Gia Lai Yeu Thuong Club to run the 2026 “Spring of love” program in Hoai Nhon Bac Ward and Vinh Quang Commune.
In Hoai Nhon Bac Ward, the delegation distributed gifts worth VND 95 million (≈ USD 3,800), including 100 gifts for children and 70 for disadvantaged residents valued at VND 85 million (≈ USD 3,400). Four families and one Youth Union member affected by storms and floods received VND 2 million (≈ USD 80) each.
In Vinh Quang Commune, the team continued with 111 gifts for children and 180 for disadvantaged residents, totaling VND 145.5 million (≈ USD 5,900).
Delegates also visited severely affected households to provide direct encouragement and support.
Families hit by natural disasters receive direct visits
Among those visited was Tran Thi Cam of Hoai Nhon Bac Ward, whose home lost its roof in a storm and whose shrimp pond, an investment of over VND 200 million (≈ USD 8,000), was destroyed. With her husband suffering from a heart condition, she said the support “warms my heart” and gives her strength to face Tet.
Aid reaches border communities
On February 1, in Ia Nan Commune, the Provincial Youth Union and the Vietnam Youth Federation of Gia Lai delivered 200 Tet gifts worth VND 300,000 (≈ USD 12) each to disadvantaged households, Youth Union members, and students under the “Borderland Tet” program.
Organizers said the initiative aims not only to ease financial burdens but also to reinforce community cohesion and help residents build stable lives along the border.
Support for young workers
Young factory workers in difficult circumstances also received holiday assistance. Fifty workers were given Tet gifts by the Provincial People’s Committee delegation and partners. Among them, Pham Thi Vu Anh, a worker supporting an ill husband and two young children, described the gift as enough to ensure “a simple but warm Tet”.
Youth volunteers add new dimensions to Tet programs
Volunteer activities extended beyond financial aid. In Cuu An Commune, a team led by hair designer Truong Sy Xuan Tan offered free haircuts for children as part of the “Volunteer Spring - Sharing Tet” initiative.
Meanwhile, in Ia Nan Commune, traditional games, such as sack races, pot breaking, and banh chung wrapping, brought festive energy to the border region. Evening performances featuring gong culture, campfires, and musical exchanges fostered strong connections among youth union members, military units, and local authorities.
Youth Union leaders said more than 200 young participants took part in activities that continued from afternoon into the night, creating a lively and inclusive atmosphere ahead of Tet.
A province-wide effort to spread warmth
From urban wards to remote border communes, the Youth Union and Youth Federation’s Tet programs aimed to ensure that vulnerable families, students, and workers feel supported as the holiday approaches. Organizers said the collective effort reflects a broader goal: making Tet not only a date on the calendar but a source of warmth for all.
