Fly to Sky Charity Group is a member of the National Volunteer Networks under the National Volunteer Center – Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union.

The group will call for donations of surplus sweets and confectionery after Tet to be given to disadvantaged children in border areas.

Head of the Fly To Sky Group, volunteer Le Van Phuc, said: "Through this campaign, we hope to pass on the joy of the Tet holidays to children and residents in border areas, and call on the community to reduce food waste. This year, the campaign will organize 19 collection points in seven provinces and cities from February 23 to March 16. We are calling for donations of cakes, sweets, milk and beverages that are still within their expiry dates and in good condition. We hope to receive the trust and support of the community.”

After five years of operation, the Fly To Sky Charity Group has collected more than 20,000 boxes of confectionery and food from over 5,000 organizations and individuals nationwide, to share the Tet gifts with about 10,000 children and people in difficult circumstances in border areas.
