(VOVworld) - Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan offered nearly 200 gifts to contributors to Vietnam’s revolution on Sunday in Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh provinces to mark Vietnam’s War Invalids and Martyrs’ Day on July 27. The beneficiaries include heroic mothers, wounded ex-servicemen, war veterans, war invalids and relatives of martyrs from My Loc district in Nam Dinh province and from Yen Mo district, Ninh Binh province. Vice President Doan hailed their contributions and urged localities to pay more attention to families and individuals benefiting from social welfare policies and ensure no one slips through the cracks. The same day, she presented 200 scholarships to children of servicemen stationed on islands and border areas as well as impoverished students as part of the “Together to School”, co-funded by the National Fund for Vietnamese Children (NFVC). The program has come to 63 cities and provinces, benefiting underprivileged kids with over 1.2 million USD since its launch in 2012. Over 4 million children are in need of assistance, including 1.5 million orphaned, disabled and homeless. In recent years, the NFVC has raised nearly 190 million USD and offered aid to more than 28 million children.
