These heartfelt contributions are a source of strength to help those in disaster-stricken areas overcome difficult times, providing significant encouragement to those in storm-affected regions. The contributions reflect a spirit of solidarity, responsibility, and deep love for the homeland.”
Ms. Phạm Thị Kim Hoa affirmed that this is a vivid testament to the great national unity, showcasing the profound affection and dedication towards the homeland and country of Vietnamese people, no matter where they are.
