Here, every contribution – whether material or spiritual – is transformed into a warm source of energy and intense hope. No act of sharing is too small; every heart given is a flame of humanity lit, dispelling the cold and worries of families in loss. This activity affirms a meaningful message: our happiness will not be complete if our compatriots are still suffering.

Under the Tree of Happiness, the organizers offer 80,000 souvenir gifts to the public and tourists.
Sending Happiness to Tomorrow
Within each of us are things hard to express in words. Unresolved issues with loved ones, friends, or unspoken words of affection. Write them down, gently place them in the "Happy Vietnam" mailbox. The organizers will be the silent bridge, helping to resolve the unfinished and connect your happiness more completely.
