Sharing with reporters at noon on September 12, Ms. Le Hong Hanh, a lecturer at Ho Chi Minh City College of Industry and Trade, said that today she will send another 28 boxes of fresh porridge to the North. Previously, she had donated 20 boxes of porridge.

Ms. Hanh confided that it was heartbreaking to see the storm and flood sweep away everything, even burying an entire village. She herself has relatives who are struggling with the flood, so she understands what food people need.

According to Ms. Hanh, fresh porridge is both nutritious and suitable for people in flood-affected areas. If there is no clean water, people can still use flood water to heat the porridge or can eat it right after opening the bag.

"Fortunately, the company has a 50% discount program for philanthropists and charity groups helping the North. Thanks to that, I can buy more fresh porridge," said Ms. Hanh.

On the morning of September 12, immediately after hearing that Ho Chi Minh City University of Law launched a campaign to support flood victims, the alumni of the 23rd course of the school transferred 20 million VND.

Mr. Nguyen Tien Phap, representative of the 23rd class alumni, emotionally said: "Every day I follow the damage happening in the North. Many of our colleagues are in the provinces of Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, Yen Bai, Lao Cai... suffering the harshness of natural disasters. We keep in touch with each other via Zalo, fortunately everyone is still okay."

For civil servants and employees who are party members or union members, the minimum contribution is one day's salary. In case civil servants and employees voluntarily contribute more, they will contribute through the donation box. For students, alumni, they will contribute voluntarily and donate directly at the donation box.

"The entire amount of money raised will be used by the school to directly support people affected by storm No. 3 through various methods, promptly sharing and supporting people to quickly overcome the consequences caused by storm No. 3 and stabilize their lives" - Dr. Son, Principal of Ho Chi Minh City University of Law emphasized.

On the same morning, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade (Tan Phu District) also issued an open letter, calling for donations to help people in the North recover from the storm. Although they did not have much money, many students still decided to donate a portion of their living expenses.

MSc. Pham Thai Son, Director of the Admissions and Communications Center - Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade, said that storm Yagi caused many families to be swept away by floods, wives lost their husbands, fathers lost their children... grief covered the northern provinces.

"Unable to go directly to the flooded areas, the school and the student body hope to contribute our small efforts to somehow ease the loss and pain that people in the flooded areas are suffering," said MSc. Son.

MSc. Nguyen Dang Ly, Principal of Ho Chi Minh City International College (Binh Tan District), said that the support demonstrates the spirit of mutual love, those who have little contribute little, those who have much contribute much, some contribute work, some contribute effort. Every contribution is very necessary and valuable.

"The entire amount of donations will be coordinated by the school with state agencies and relief facilities to be transferred directly to flood victims," ​​said Master Ly.

In addition to donating money and old clothes, some students also join volunteer groups to cook and wrap banh tet to send to the North.
