According to Nguyen Tan Phong, SGGP Editor-in-Chief, the charity program aims to help war heroes, war invalids, martyrs’ families, youth volunteers and the poor ethnic people that live along the provinces on Truong Son Road. During the resistance war against US invaders, the provinces along Truong Son suffered heavy losses and lost many human lives.
The organizers of the ‘Nghia Tinh Truong Son’ charity program have collected around VND140 billion to build the Ho village historical site, 17 dispensaries and 1,351 houses in 44 cities and provinces throughout the country, besides inaugurating two Truong Son martyr commemorative temples and offering more than 2,000 scholarships.
The gala ceremony will be broadcast live on VTV9, ANTV channels and 14 others across the country at 8pm.
