According to Mrs.Nga, the “Building compassion house” campaign has been implemented in association with the campaign of “Studying and following Uncle Ho’s teachings”, so the local women have become more self-aware in assisting poorer ones. “In practice, there are still lots of poor women and donors’ support will contribute to sharing difficulties with them, contributing to promoting the campaign and making it become more meaningful…”, she added.
