In order to ensure that all senior citizens can enjoy a warm Lunar New Year Festival (Tet), the administration of Hoa Binh and the Vietnam Association of the Elderly (VAE) at all levels in the province have implemented many practical activities to care for them.
Representatives from the Association of
the Elderly in Cao Phong district present gifts to the elderly in Tien Lam
village, Bac Phong commune, on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2024.
In Kim Boi district, the district Association of the Elderly has advised the
management board of the fund for the elderly of the district to build a plan to
present 300 gift packages worth 200,000 VND (8.16 USD) each to needy senior

for the elderly.
Quach Dinh Hanh, head of the Representative Board of the district Association

the association will continue to raise fund for the elderly facing difficulties

The VAE at all levels in Hoa Binh aims to present nearly 3,000 Tet gift

association will continue to conduct activities to care for the elderly, while
