Heads of services and bureaus, benefactors and 66 operated children attended the meeting.

 

09 giao luu 160In Dong Nai, there are actually hundreds of children suffering from inborn-heart disease but a small number of them underwent operation because most of them live in a poor family and cannot afford to be operated. In implementation of Resolution 67 of Provincial People’s Council on the project for raising money and establishing a Children’s Assistance Fund in Dong Nai Province for the period 2004-2010, and in implementation of the “Month Campaign for Children, the Committee for Population, Family and Children launched the “for 300 Children’s Heart”. The Children’s Assistance Fund has really become a bridge between benefactors who are anxious to help them to treat this dangerous disease. All hearts anxious to help children, all units and benefactors contributed money, time and work to help 66 children to undergo heart operations so that they are able to lead their happy lives with their families. It is known that 17 children will have been operated by July.

At the meeting, Dang Kieu Trang, a 9th grade student of Hung Vuong Secondary School in Quy Hoa village, Trang Bom District emotionally said: “Each time the disease affected, I suffered extremely and could not do anything”. Because my family is very poor that I did not dare to believe that I would be cured of the disease. And now when I am healthy, I am very grateful to benefactors for helping me. I will try my best to study well and become a useful citizen for the society”. Bich Loan living in Gia Tan village, Thong Nhat district had the same feeling. She said: “suffering from heart disease, I have the inferiority complex of being a heavy burden for my family. I am now very lucky to have my disease cured. I hope many children in my situation will benefit from this program.

In order to help the operated children to return to their normal lives, the representative of Dong Nai Department of Education and Training will grant them scholarship and exempt them from studying subjects which need physical strength. Mr. Le Mai Thanh, Director of the Service of Labor. War Invalids and Social Affairs, expressed his thanks to the benefactors and hope to receive more assistance from units and individuals for children in Dong Nai Province to develop strongly and happily.

The amount of over 2 billion VND is not very large but it has brought great joy and happiness to 66 children and their families.
