Giving milk to poor children with critical illness

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, since early 2020, people across the country conducted social distancing and as a result, all activities had to stop. However, in June 2020, Vietnam had successfully controlled the virus and restrictions were lifted, which allowed philanthropic activities to be continued. In July 2020, we implemented the project.

On July 10th 2020, For Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF) visited and delivered various glasses of milk to pediatric patients at Pediatrics Department of National Hospital of Acupuncture. This time, there are 3 young and dynamic volunteers in accompany with VSF participating in the special day: Nguyen Hanh Trang - The University of Queensland, Australia, Nguyen Ngoc Huyen - VNU University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Nguyen Thi Ngoc - Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

Most of patients who are at the Pediatric Department are inpatient, and have serious disease requiring long-term treatment. In addition, there are many patients in difficult circumstances that really need both physical and mental support from benefactors.The volunteers supported VSF in delivering milk to every child. We talked, shared, and encouraged pediatric patients and their families to overcome the diseases. In this morning, we met over 130 pediatric patients, and more than 1,000 glasses of nutritious milk were delivered.

“It’s not like major hospitals such as K Hospital or Vietnam National Children's Hospital, patients at the National Hospital of Acupuncture have fewer opportunities to approach and receive support from charitable organizations and groups. Today, we are honestly delighted and thankful for the kindness of VSF”- Ms. Truong To Quyen, Chief Social Work of National Hospital of Acupuncture shared.

Everytime volunteers accompany VSF to present milk, we have more motivation to maintain meaningful activities for the community, especially for children.

 Please do not forget - for only $ 10, you will provide 30 glasses of fresh milk to children with critical illnesses

Dear Sir/Madam  

Every Saturday morning, For Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF) come to give nutritional milk to the pediatric patients being treated as an inpatient in National Cancer Hospital - Tan Trieu branch. In the first three months of 2020, 720 glasses of milk have been sponsored to pediatric patients with chemical transmission. The money to buy milk was donated from the Charity Fair of VSF through both online and offline.

In the trip on February 15, 2020,there were 3 teachers and students of TH School accompanied VSF. They were Ms. Jill Sugden, Mr. Tom Traxson and Ms. Hong Anh - 8th graders. The delegation also gave special gifts prepared by TH School’s teachers and students. Each goody bag included a cute teddy bear, colored pens, ... and love cards. Looking at patients and their relatives’ smiles with the gifts, VSF believes that the Saturday was a day full of love and unforgettable moments.

In this morning, with the desire to help children in especially difficult circumstances through National Cancer Hospital - Tan Trieu branch, For Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF) also visited and awarded sponsorships to 2 pediatric patients in Hospital in the morning of February 15, 2020. A sponsorships of 20 million dong/family was awarded to two pediatric patients with especially difficult circumstances.

• Mr. N.M.D (currently in Testicular Cancer treatment) is the second child in a poor family. His father left  the family when he was 3 years old, therefore, the family’s income depends on his mother who is working far away from home. Since he was admitted to this hospital in September 2019, he have been taken care of by his grandmother - who has also been treated for heart disease and hemangioma since 2010.
• Ms. N.T.M (currently in osteoma treatment) was born in a special family. Her father has lost the ability to work due to muscular atrophy, and her grandma has been paralyzed for 8 years. Although her mother has been treated colorectal cancer, she still tries to take care of M..

This is an amount deducted from the 100 million Dong from Loving Red pocket program, implemented on Tet holiday 2020.

Looking the happiness of the patients as well as their relatives, VSF increasingly appreciates our work and is enormously grateful to the philanthropists who have always supported VSF to maintain this meaningful work.

Because of the complicated situation of the covid-19 pandemic, we are having to postpone milk donation activities
