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
citizens in the locality, and mobilise resources from local businesses to care
for the elderly.
Quach Dinh Hanh, head of the Representative Board of the district Association
of the Elderly, said that the activities will complete by January 21. However,
the association will continue to raise fund for the elderly facing difficulties
in the locality.
Currently, Hoa Binh is home to more than 15,000 senior citizens eligible for
social support, including 4,400 lonely and disabled people at the age of under
80, and 11,000 over 80 years old.
The VAE at all levels in Hoa Binh aims to present nearly 3,000 Tet gift
packages worth 200,000-500,000 VND each to local senior citizens, while
coordinating with the provincial Red Cross Society as well as localities to
provide support to the elderly facing difficulties with support of charity
funds and donors.
The association will also organise greeting celebration for the elderly
reaching the ages of 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, and over 100.
Alongside, it will coordinate with localities to hold cultural and art
exchanges as well as sports events for the elderly, while promoting the role of
Intergenerational Self-Help Clubs in caring for the elderly.
Bui Tuan Hai, President of the Hoa Binh chapter of the VAE, said that the
association will continue to conduct activities to care for the elderly, while
continuing advising the local Party Organisation and administration in
implementing policies for this group of residents, thus encouraging the elderly
to engage in Party building and socio-economic development in the locality.
The emulation movement "Hoa Binh joining hands to build new-style rural areas” has been widely spreading, becoming a driving force that motivates the localities to renew rural landscapes and improve the material and spiritual lives of the residents. In this movement, the people play a central role-both as the main implementers and direct beneficiaries of its outcomes.
In response to the global digital revolution, Hoa Binh Newspaper is transforming itself into a modern and multi-platform media hub, blending cutting-edge technology with a restructured newsroom and a new generation of tech-savvy journalists.
Hoa Binh province’s Association of the Elderly recently held a conference to review the project on expanding the inter-generation self-help club model until 2025.
In a move to implement Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, issued on December 22, 2024 by the Politburo, which targets breakthroughs in science-technology development, innovation, and digital transformation, the Hoa Binh provincial Department of Health has issued a plan to roll out the "Digital Literacy for All” campaign within the local health sector.
