- Sir, which plans did provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee (VFFC) set up to take care of the poor on Tet occasion?
- Implementing the guidelines of
Standing Committee of Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee and
PPC’s plan on organizing activities in order for the people to welcome
Tet happily, unitedly, safely, economically, right from mid-December
2015, Standing Committee of provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front
Committee set up plans for the poor supporting programs.
Accordingly, during 2016 Tet, the
province will give gifts worth totally over 20 billion VND to 3,190 poor
households, 1,508 children in difficult circumstances and 26,465 social
policy beneficiaries. In addition, VFFC at all levels, affiliates also
set up plans to take care of the poor and implemented these activities
since the end of 2015, for example, calling for Tet gifts presented to
the poor, visiting and giving gifts to provincial social sponsoring
centers; taking care of poor workers at lodging houses; donating 5,000
free bus tickets to workers to return home on Tet occasion.
- How is the initial result of the campaign caring for the poor of this year, sir?
- Caring for the poor is one of
major policies of the Party and State. Therefore, every year VFFC at all
levels receive huge contributions from the community to take care of
the poor. VFFC at all levels have received over 8 million gifts worth
200,000 - 600,000 VND each given to poor, disadvantaged households on
Tet occasion.
Some enterprises, units making
contributions were: Kien Long Commercial Bank, provincial Vietnam
Buddhist Sangha, provincial Catholic Solidarity Committee, Becamex IDC,
Thalexim, Binh Duong Minerals and Construction Corporation, Vietnam
Yazaki EDS Company, HCMC Korea - Kocham Trade and Industry Association,
the representative of Chinese Community – TDM City, Binh Duong Water
Supply Sewerage – Environment Company, Binh Duong Lottery, Trung Thao
home appliances…
- Sir, how can these gifts given to all and right subjects of poor people?
- In order for these gifts to be
given to all and right subjects, provincial Steering Committee of "Day
for the Poor" has acted as the core to receive gifts, introduce proper
subjects, places for organizations, individuals to directly give gifts
to poor people; thereby overcoming the duplication in giving gifts to
the poor, preventing repeated gift giving while others received nothing.
We also directed VFFC of districts, towns, city, affiliates to monitor,
synthesize data on activities caring for the poor on Tet occasion;
coordinate units, localities in the province to distribute money, gifts
to right subjects, fairly, publicly, transparently.
- In order for all families, people to have a warm Tet, in your opinion, how should each person show responsibilities?
- Units, enterprises, or people
should join hands to support disadvantaged people living right at their
area. Neighborhood is still the most practical way to help the poor on
Tet occasion. Simultaneously, the authorities at all levels must be more
active in identifying subjects for timely supports.
I think, thanks to the attention of
the Party, State and joined hands of the whole society to care for the
poor, everyone, every family will have a happy and warm Tet. The whole
community has brought a warm grace Tet to all poor persons.
- Thank you so much!
