Hoang Lan Anh, Chairwoman of the Dong Xoai Ward Women’s Union, said that in response to the severe destruction and widespread losses caused by recent natural disasters in the central region, the union launched an appeal on November 23 calling on officials and members across all neighborhood branches to contribute under the spirit of “the intact leaf covers the torn leaf” and “a morsel in hunger is worth a feast in plenty”. Within just one day, the union mobilized a total of 2 tons of rice, 210 boxes of instant noodles, 30 boxes of milk, 130 boxes of bottled water, and various other essentials, clothing, and goods, amounting to more than 4 tons.
