Localities across the country are working to provide for local disadvantaged individuals and war veterans on the quickly-approaching Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
The Mekong Delta province of An Giang set aside more than 47 billion VND (2.2 million USD) to cover activities in celebration of the holiday.
