On the morning of November 16, 2023, a "Zero-Cost Supermarket" for students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (VNU-USSH) was organized by the Trade Union in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Attending the event were Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dang Thi Thu Huong, Vice Rector of the University, Dr. Ngo Kieu Oanh, President of the University's Trade Union, along with faculty members representing the Trade Union Executive Committee, departments, faculties/divisions, and a large number of students.
Regarding the idea behind organizing this activity, Dr. Ngo Thi Kieu Oanh, President of the University's Trade Union, shared: "Caring for, accompanying, sharing with, and supporting students, especially those in difficult circumstances, has become a beautiful tradition of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. With the approval and guidance of the Party Committee, the Executive Committee of the University's Trade Union launched a campaign for union members throughout the university to contribute and express their affection for the students. In a short time, the organizing committee received enthusiastic support from faculty members and several partner companies and businesses of the University, who sent gifts of essential supplies and items to support the students' studies and daily lives."
The Chairwoman of the school's Trade Union, Ngo Thi Kieu Oanh, shared about the purpose and significance of the activity.
On behalf of the School's Board of Directors, Vice Principal Dang Thi Thu Huong highly appreciated the humanitarian significance of this activity initiated by the School's Trade Union Executive Committee. The activity not only demonstrates the love, care, and thoughtful attention of the teachers to the students but also serves as a bond, spreading a beautiful spirit of humanity. This activity becomes even more meaningful as it coincides with the celebration of Vietnamese Teachers' Day, making the Hanoi Humanities Center even warmer with the affection that teachers have for their beloved students.
Associate Professor Dr. Dang Thi Thu Huong delivered a speech.
Through these small gifts, the teachers hope to share some of the difficulties in life with the students. At the same time, they also want to send a message: as a part of Hanoi University of Humanities, you will not only receive guidance and encouragement from your teachers to conquer the heights of professional knowledge, but they will also always understand, support, and share your difficulties in your studies and in life. So, be confident and strive harder in your studies and training to achieve success in life, and later return to help students in more difficult circumstances, together spreading the beautiful humanitarian spirit of Hanoi University of Humanities.
The implementation of the "Zero-Cost Supermarket" initiative was assigned by the University's Trade Union to the Student Welfare Committee. Ms. Kim Thi Diep Ha, Head of the Student Welfare Committee of the University's Trade Union, along with the teachers in the committee and students from the Youth Union and Student Association, coordinated the implementation.
Ms. Kim Thi Diep Ha shared:
Representatives from the school's Board of Directors and the school's Trade Union presented gifts to two students, representing the 134 students who participated in the "Zero-Cost Supermarket" event.
Representing the 134 underprivileged students who received gifts from the "Zero-Cost Supermarket" this year, Pham Tram Anh (a student from the Faculty of Tourism Studies) emotionally shared: "All the gifts were meticulously and carefully prepared by the teachers and handed to us in a very solemn and warm manner. We don't know what more to say than to express our deepest gratitude to the School's Board of Directors, the Trade Union Executive Committee, and all the teachers in the School. This gift is not only material support for us, but above all, it makes us feel valued, cared for, and encouraged, giving us more motivation to constantly strive in our studies and in life. Surely, knowing this, our relatives and families far away will be extremely reassured and happy that we are always cared for and supported by the School and the teachers."
With the collective efforts and dedication of the faculty and staff of the University, and the support and sponsorship of several businesses and philanthropists, the "Zero-Cost Supermarket" of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities was successfully organized, delivering meaningful gifts directly to students in difficult circumstances.
