As many as 450 tickets will be given to female labourers working at industrial parks and export processing zones in Hanoi, 360 tickets to those in Hung Yen, 405 tickets to workers in Ho Chi Minh City, and 405 others to women in Binh Duong province.
VYF chapters in localities will deliver gifts and tickets to the needy, and volunteers will be arranged at 11 pick-up locations to provide guidance for the workers.
According to the organising board, the move aims to reduce the economic burden on young employees, helping them reunite with their families during the upcoming Tet holiday.
