Not only is the province known as a locality with fast economic development, Binh Duong is also mentioned by many people for its friendliness, gratitude, and kindness. One of the clear manifestations of that is the activity of sharing love and bringing joy to disadvantaged people through the model of "VND-0 market".
People in difficult circumstances are supported at the "VND-0 market" organized by the provincial Red Cross
“VND-0 market” is one of the meaningful humanitarian activities carried out very effectively by the Red Cross at all levels in the province. The activity was promoted during the period when the whole province joined hands in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic and continued to be replicated and maintained effectively until now. Initially, the activity was carried out at the provincial level, then replicated to the district level and then spread to the grassroots level. "VND-0 market" is a place to connect sentiment between people with compassion and people in need.
In order to have a warm and meaningful session of "VND-0 Market", Red Cross officers at all levels joined in the propaganda, calling for resource mobilization in the society. From the meaning and effectiveness of this activity, "VND-0 Market" is attracting more and more units, organizations, businesses and benefactors to support resources. At every market session, whether at the provincial or grassroots level, a lot of goods and necessities have been displayed neatly on the shelves, waiting for people to buy for VND 0.
Each bag of rice, box of milk, box of instant noodles, bottle of cooking oil or bunch of fresh vegetables serving people at each session of "VND-0 Market" contains the sentiment and sharing of the givers to the recipients. Therefore, everyone is happy and feels their warmer hearts.
Since the beginning of the year, the Red Cross at all levels in the province have organized more than 130 sessions of “VND-0 Market” to support more than 23,230 turns of people with a total value of more than VND 15.9 billion. The regular maintenance of "VND-0 Market" at the provincial and grassroots levels has been sharing the burden of spending for many families, supporting people in difficult circumstances with the sense of the sharing of the entire social community.
To feel how warm the atmosphere of going to the "VND-0 Market" is for people in need, as well as to see the kindness that is being spread with love in Binh Duong, you are invited to the next episode of the program of "I love Binh Duong" - the program implemented by Binh Duong Newspaper and broadcast at 6 am on Sunday (August 27, 2023) at the address of www. baobinhduong.vn.
