The launching ceremony was attended by Nguyen Thi Tuyen, Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Ha Noi Party Committee, city leaders, and 500 children representing more than 1.9 million living in the capital.
According to Vu Thu Ha, Vice Chairwoman of the Ha Noi City People's Committee, the Action Month for Children is one of Ha Noi's action programs to concretize Uncle Ho's teaching, "For the sake of ten years, we cultivate trees; for the sake of a hundred years, we cultivate people."
For years, Ha Noi has focused on implementing policies related to the protection, care, and education of children, especially children with special circumstances in the area.
The Vice Chairwoman took the occasion to call upon local residents to enthusiastically respond to the Ha Noi 2023 Action Month for Children with concrete, practical, and meaningful deeds for children.
These vulnerable children need the help of both local authorities and society, of which family, school, and community are the three "main pillars," according to Ha.
On occasion, the Ha Noi People's Committee issued the "Action Plan for Children 2023" with nine content groups and 17 tasks, urging authorities in Ha Noi's districts and towns to effectively implement it before, during, and after the "Action Month for Children" event.
"The municipal authorities must ensure that 100 percent of children with special needs receive care, support, and gifts on International Children's Day, which falls on June 1," she added.
On this occasion, leaders of the central government, Ha Noi and Hoan Kiem District handed over 25 bicycles and gifts, as well as 40 scholarships to disadvantaged children with good academic performance in the past school year, and 150 scholarships and gifts to children living in orphanages in Ha Noi City./.
