In 2017, provincial Red Cross Societies at all levels organized a variety of humanitarian activities in association with “Studying and following late President Ho Chi Minh’s exemplary morals”, contributing to ensuring social welfare. This was one of remarkable outcomings mentioned at a conference reviewing activities of provincial Red Cross Society last year held yesterday.

Provincial Red Cross Society mobilized organizations, individuals to build and donate 20 houses worth VND50million each. District-level Red Cross Societies also constructed 31 “red cross” houses worth between VND40million and VND80million each and upgraded 19 others for needy people.
