Mid-Autumn Festival joy of less fortunate children

(VOVWORLD) -The Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on October 6 this year, is celebrated across Vietnam as a festival for children. In flood-hit areas, hospitals, or orphanages, children enjoyed the full moon, on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, in a special way.

At the Nghe An Provincial Hematology and Blood Transfusion Center, child patients were treated to a feast and received gifts. Lu Thi Anna is one of them. She said “When the hospital organized the Mid-Autumn Festival, I felt happy. They brought us many meaningful gifts. I wish I would get well soon so I could come home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with my family.”

Children at the Mother Teresa Calcutta Orphanage and Disabled Children Center watched performances and were given gifts. Mr. Van Dinh Sung, Head of the "Live to Love" Club, said “To organize the Mid-Autumn Festival for children, three clubs have held fundraising events, where we called on donors to support to buy necessities. The clubs will organize more Mid-Autumn Festival programs to bring joy to the kids.”
