Commencement of humanitarian project to welcome the eighth Provincial Congress of Red Cross

On December 7, Provincial Red Cross coordinated with Red Cross of Thuan An city and local authorities to hold the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of An Son 44 bridge in An Son commune, Thuan An city. Attending the ceremony were Nguyen Hoang Thao, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; Nguyen Thi Le Trinh, Chairwoman of the Provincial Red Cross; representatives of the government and citizens.

An Son Bridge 44 connects An Phu and An Quoi hamlets, with a length of 12m, width of 3m; total construction cost VND232 million; in which the Provincial Red Cross supported VND200 million, the city mobilized VND32 million. The financial support for the new construction of An Son 44 bridge has a very practical meaning to residents of the two hamlets. After the construction is completed and put into use, this bridge will serve more than 200 households living in An Phu and An Quoi hamlets, create favorable traffic and transportation conditions; contribute to the economic development of the two hamlets in the coming time.

To share the pain of orphans due to the impact of the Covid-19, on Dec 7, the Provincial Red Cross offered an amount of 345 million VND to give support to 69 orphaned children due to the Covid-19 in Thuan An city. Each orphan received an amount of 5 million VND supported by the Provincial Red Cross.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony and giving support money to orphans, Nguyen Hoang Thao said that the support of Provincial and Thuan An city Red Cross Associations for the construction of An Son 44 bridge would create favorable conditions for people to travel more conveniently and easily, making a positive contribution to improving people's lives here in the coming time. In addition to this bridge, the Provincial Red Cross also gave money to support children who lost their parents due to the Covid-19. Hopefully this support would contribute to alleviate some of the pain, help them soon overcome, continue to rise up in life...
