Mr. To Minh Gioi: It is the first time that the “Doll’s House” program is organized in Can Tho on June 1, the Children’s Day. This is the social activity mobilizing individuals and organizations to take care of children.

The program aims to express the love for children, especially disadvantaged children, bring the joy to them and turn their dreams into reality. The program shows a spirit of caring for children; it is also a practical activity to welcome the Children’s Day and Vietnamese Family Day on June 28.

SGGP’s reporter: Helping and caring for disadvantaged children are human goals in our society. What are the concrete activities that the province is conducting to achieve the goals?

Mr. To Minh Gioi: This is what the province is specially interested in. At the present there are 35 clubs with more than 3,000 disadvantaged children in Can Tho. The clubs have always tried to set up the housing for them and carry out the vocational training, protect them from abuses by bad people.

Can Tho also deployed the Children Month “Protecting Children Today For A Brighter Tomorrow”. The province called on the departments and social organizations to support the program by practical activities, such as musical performances and offering gifts to the children.
