On the evening of November 27, hundreds of people were busy sorting, arranging, and loading goods onto trucks at the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Cultural Palace to support flood-affected residents.
From late morning until evening on November 27, at the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Cultural Palace (55B Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street, Ben Thanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City), many people came to help sort, arrange, and load goods onto trucks for transportation.
As trucks and container vehicles opened their cargo doors, young people formed long lines, passing goods hand-to-hand to load them onto the vehicles.
“As evening approached, more people came to help arrange and transport goods, with numbers reaching nearly 300 at one point,” a volunteer shared.
Despite being busy carrying goods, many young people said they didn’t feel tired seeing everyone working together to support flood-affected residents.
One volunteer said he had arranged time over the past two days to help sort and transport goods at the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ho Chi Minh City and the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Cultural House.
Today (November 27), he noticed there were still many goods at the Labor Cultural Palace, so he stopped by to help load them onto trucks. “Most volunteers are young people, including many enthusiastic students. Personally, I don’t feel tired because this is meaningful work,” he shared.
A university student said that on his way home from school, he saw many people at the Labor Cultural Palace moving goods to support flood-affected residents, so he and about 10 fellow students wanted to contribute their efforts.
“Our group is helping with small tasks like carrying goods onto trucks, hoping to share some of the difficulties faced by flood-affected residents,” he said.
Another student said that since November 24, he and a group of fellow university students have been participating in arranging and transporting goods at the collection point at the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Cultural House. By the evening of the same day, the group moved to the Labor Cultural Palace and continued supporting through today.
In addition to participating in sorting, arranging, and transporting goods, the group also livestreamed on social media asking people to donate plastic bags, markers, scissors, tape, and other supplies to support the packaging process.
“My friends and I hope to contribute our small efforts to share the difficulties with flood-affected residents. Not only students from our university, but many students from other schools are also participating very enthusiastically,” he expressed.
