In response to the severe damage caused by storm No. 10 in the Northern and North Central provinces, trade union organizations across Dong Nai have recently launched a donation campaign to support those affected by the storm and floods, embodying the spirit of solidarity and "the strong help the weak". Accordingly, thousands of union members and workers from various agencies, units, and enterprises have actively responded, contributing and joining hands with the affected communities to help mitigate the storm's impacts.

At the fundraising launch ceremony, the leadership of Dong Phu Cuong Joint Stock Company expressed appreciation to all officers, staff, and employees for their active participation and solidarity in supporting the relief effort. All donated funds will be transferred to the provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, which will distribute the aid to residents in Northern and Central provinces severely affected by storms and floods. This timely support aims to help affected communities overcome the difficulties they face and stabilize their lives following the disasters.

Each contribution from trade union members and workers in Dong Nai, no matter how small, embodies trust, compassion, and warmth for those in storm-affected areas. In addition to material support, many union members and workers from various units and enterprises have volunteered to join relief teams and help deliver essential goods directly to affected residents, contributing to efforts to help them quickly stabilize their lives after the storms. These meaningful actions reflect a strong sense of community responsibility, humanitarian spirit, and the proud tradition of Vietnam’s working class and trade union organizations.
