The programme, entitled “Mua xuan cho em” (Spring for children), was jointly organised by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the National Fund for Vietnamese Children (NFVC), and Vietnam Television in honour of the upcoming Lunar New Year (Tet) festival.
Attending the event were Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan, Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Pham Thi Hai Chuyen, and stakeholders contributing to child protection, care, and education over the past year.
