She has been presented with a certificate of merit from the Prime Minister for her achievements in realizing Politburo Directive 03-CT/TW (Term XI) on increasing the studying and following of President Ho Chi Minh’s moral example.
According to Vietnam News Agency, in her position, she has always led in humanitarian blood donation, mobilization of money to assist the lives of poor families, and providing humanitarian meals for poor families.
She has reached to each family to disseminate the significance of humanitarian blood donation. Over the past four years, the Chairwoman of the Phu Thanh communal Red Cross has encouraged the donation of 48 units of blood. She has patiently reached every corner of remote villages and mastered the number of poor families who are in need of help, thus developing plans for mobilizing assistance. Over the past five years, Ms Van has mobilized over VND600 million, assisting over 2,280 poor families, and contributing to building 7 charitable houses.
Tan Phu Dong, a waterway district, reports a large number of poor families living in isolated areas that have travel difficulties. Pupils have to travel a considerable distance to go to school. Many poor pupils have to starve themselves at lunch for going to school. Loving the children, Ms Van arranges to provide humanitarian meals by mobilising donations of essential food and facilities for the children’s lunch. Her deeds are supported by other people. So far, her humanitarian meal provision is assisted by 10 volunteers.
Ms Van has also encouraged voluntary doctors to give free medical check-ups and treatment to thousands of poor patients. Sharing that studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s moral example is a long-term deed, she said she realized that she has to strive harder in carrying out humanitarian activities and assisting the poor.
Doctor Vo Van Lang, Chairman of the Tien Giang provincial Red Cross, appreciates Ms Van for her deeds, recognizing her as a typical officer in emulation movement. Her accurate thinking and good ways of doing have been expanded by Red Cross organizations in the province./.
