The central province of Nghe An has decided to support the
needy in the locality with 50.5 billion VND ahead of the Lunar New Year (Tet).
In the upcoming holiday, the province will not let off fireworks to save money for the poor. Currently, Nghe An has over 80,000 poor households, mostly residing in mountainous and border areas. In 2017, the province built 541 new houses and upgraded 299 others for the poor.

Meanwhile, the central province of Quang Tri has also
launched a number of activities to ensure a warm festival for all poor workers
in the province. This year, Tet bonus for local
workers in the locality varies from 200,000 VND to 72 million VND. Many small
firms have no plan to offer bonus for workers. Along with keeping a close watch on businesses’
implementation of salary and bonus regulations, local authorities have also
held dialogues with the firms to deal with difficulties facing them and the
workers.
Last year, the provincial Trade Union supported over 4,000 workers with underprivileged circumstances with over 2 billion VND, while building 45 new houses worth 1.79 billion VND to the needy. Quang Tri now has about 35,000 labourers, many of whom face difficulties.
At the same time, the Management Board of the southern province of Binh Phuoc reported that more than 100 enterprises have announced Tet bonus for workers at average 5.2 million VND each. Trade unions at all levels have built plans to support workers, including free travel assistance and Tet gifts.

Tet gifts

Four
ships carrying officers, soldiers, journalists as well as New Year gifts
departed from Cam Ranh military port, in the central province
of Khanh Hoa, on January 6 for Truong Sa archipelago.
As scheduled, the ships

As many as 105 reporters from media companies across the country were on board the ships.
As many as 105 reporters from media companies across the country were on board the ships.
Their writings about
historical sites and daily life on the islands will contribute to affirming the
sovereignty of Vietnam over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong
Sa (Spratly) archipelagoes, the country’s exclusive economic zone,
continental shelf, and other sea and island areas.
So, Tet 2018 is coming
to Vietnam. Let’s wish for the people and the country all the bests, especially
on human rights care like those above./.
