Activities respond to Day for the Poor

18/10/18

Various activities will be held across the country in response to the Day for the Poor in Vietnam (October 17) and an action month for the poor.

Accordingly, an action month calling for the joint efforts of the entire country to support the poor has been launched in Hanoi on October 17 by the Vietnam Father Front Central Committee.

Agencies, organisations, and individuals at home and abroad, who have provided significant support for the poor and the disadvantaged in their residential areas, were honored at the launch ceremony.

A range of activities will be held during the action month to honour exemplary districts, communes, and households who have recorded positive performances in poverty reduction, as well as encouraging further support from businesses, agencies, and individuals in order to help the poor.

The Ministry of Information and Communications will launch a text messaging campaign, in which people can send a text message to the National Humanity Portal at 1400 to donate 20,000 VND to the poor.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs will coordinate with ministries and sectors to organise a conference honouring outstanding localities and examples of poverty reduction for the 2016-2020 period, and an awards ceremony to grant press awards on the poverty reduction efforts.

More than 50 trillion VND (nearly 2.15 billion USD) was donated to the National Fund for the Poor and social welfare programmes in localities nationwide from December 2000 to September 2018.

The money has been used to build and repair nearly 1.5 million houses for poor households across the country and to implement thousands of projects and social welfare programmes targeting the poor.

On one hand, there are people who live their life lavishly. They are not only enjoying the joy of essentials but also have what they want and desire; a luxurious living providing them an extra comfort. On the other hand, there are people who cannot even afford the basic requirements of living.

While those who have barely the vitals are fighting each day for life.They fail to meet the basic requirements.

Change your perspective. Instead of considering them as a project to help, view them as people to love and respect.

By providing them with the opportunities to improve their condition on their own would increase their self-esteem and help them in overcoming barriers they face everyday.

Social Media has become one of the most used way to help the poor and needy people and perhaps, the easiest way as well.

One can join the fund raiser community or engage himself or herself with some organization who are involved in raising funds for the poor and needy people.
