Addressing the event, Politburo member and Standing Deputy Prime Minister Truong
Hoa Binh praised the children for not succumbing to difficulties such as poverty
or diseases, making great efforts to pursue study, thus becoming bright examples
for children nationwide to follow.
The Deputy PM urged authorities at all levels and socio-political organisations
to continue mobilize resources for child protection and care, and work harder to
create a safe and favourable environment for children to study and play. He
particularly reminded administrations and agencies to take practical actions to
help children from poor families, street children and those in other
disadvantaged circumstances pursue study.
A total 56 children were honoured at the event with certificates of merit of the
HCM CYU Central Committee and the Ministry of Education and Training. On the
occasion, agencies, companies and individuals nationwide contributed more than
800 million VND to present scholarships and presents to disadvantaged children.
The honouring ceremony was a main activity of the festival of disadvantaged
children with good academic performance held from June 14-16 in HCM City. The
event gathered 278 exemplary children.-VNA
