When mentioning Tet, we all recall the bountiful feasts, new clothes, or the pots of Banh Chung and Banh Tet simmering over the fire. However, not everyone is as fortunate, particularly the homeless and those working hard through the night. For them, Tet is no longer about reunion, but rather the loneliness surrounding them under bridges or in the corners of small alleys.
With the desire to build a warm Tet filled with love, the Youth Union of the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health (SPMPH) organized the "Spring Connection - A Full Tet" program. The initiative aims to support disadvantaged individuals, bringing them warmth and happiness as the Lunar New Year approaches, while spreading love and compassion to the homeless and hardworking laborers so they may feel cared for and valued. Additionally, the program contributes to creating a volunteer activity that promotes love and community engagement, aiming to become an annual tradition for the Youth Union of the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health (SPMPH) - Hanoi Medical University.
The volunteer program was held on the night of January 7, 2023. Members and volunteers worked together to carefully prepare small gifts and deliver them directly to the homeless and hardworking laborers across the capital city of Hanoi. Although these are only small material gifts, the Youth Union believes that the love and support from everyone will serve as a flame to warm the homeless and hardworking laborers during the cold winter, bringing them joy in the final days of the year.
The meaningful year-end journey has officially concluded. The memories and moments shared by the members and volunteers of the Youth Union as they worked together to create a program full of humanistic values remain like a slow-motion film, preserved in everyone's memory. The golden hearts and enthusiastic support of everyone have been conveyed to those in unfortunate circumstances, true to the precious message: give love to receive love.
The Youth Union of the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health (SPMPH) would like to express our sincere gratitude to the lecturers, students of the university, and those who have always loved and supported us throughout the organization of the program. We hope that everyone will continue to follow and support us in upcoming programs.
