In Vietnam, Mid-Autumn Festival is also referred to as the Children\u2019s Festival when children gather in parades under the full moon with lanterns of all shapes and colors to have fun and learn about the traditional deities and folklore. While the festival is celebrated widely across the country, not every child has the opportunity to enjoy this colorful and lively occasion.<\/p>\n

In order to bring a vibrant, joyful, and meaningful festival to underprivileged children in this hard-hit district, the Binh Tan district Youth Union in collaboration with VinaCapital Foundation organizes the Mid-Autumn festival celebration for 500 Covid-19 orphans and disadvantaged children affected by the pandemic. Ultimately, the activity will create unforgettable memories for the children, psychologically support them to overcome hardship and anxiety, and encourage them to study in school and become good citizens.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The event provides a safe and fun playground for the children with plenty of traditional, creative, and educational games such as mandarin square capturing, bag jumping, fishing with Ch\u00fa Cu\u1ed9i, painting, sand art, \u00d4ng \u0110\u1ecba playing drums, and walking on monkey bridge. The children also have the opportunity to learn about the traditional folk tales like the Moon Goddess and Ch\u00fa Cu\u1ed9i, as well as experience festival practices and rituals including lion dance, dragon dance, lantern parade, food display, and breaking the feast to enjoy the tastes of the Mid-Autumn Festival.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Care to Rise program also prepares 800 gift sets valued at 317,000 VND each, including notebooks, moon cakes, a lantern, milk, and candy for all the children. Family grants worth 219 million VND will be awarded to impoverished Covid-19 orphans to encourage them to stay in school and support their families financially.<\/p>\n

Representative of Binh Tan District Youth Union shares: \u201cThe Covid-19 pandemic causes devastating losses and sufferings for our children. With the purpose of protecting, caring for, and providing education for the children, the Youth Union and Children’s House of Binh Tan District have recently mobilized resources to support disadvantaged children affected by the pandemic. The assistance includes sponsoring their studies until high school, implementing the \u201cBlue shirt tutor\u201d program, providing online learning aids, and more, thereby helping them overcome difficulties to continue their studies and become a good student and a good citizen”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the Covid-19 pandemic\u2019s historic outbreak seems to be behind us now, many children are still suffering from the loss of their parent\/s and are living in extremely challenging circumstances. VinaCapital Foundation is working harder than ever to assure our children get comprehensive support and care until they become adults.\u201d, states Rad Kivette, CEO of VinaCapital Foundation, \u201cWe are grateful to partner with the Youth Union at all levels in HCMC to make Care to Rise possible. All of the health examinations, scholarships, education assistance, psychological support, and Mid-Autumn festival for our Covid-19 orphans cannot come to life without the companionship of our trustful donors and partners in the community. Thank you all for joining hands with VCF to bring a better future to the underprivileged children of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.\u201d<\/p>\n
