Visit Thuan Thanh Nursing Center for War Invalids

In commemoration of the 64th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day (July 27, 1947 - July 27, 2011), on the afternoon of July 26, 2011, a delegation of cadres from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities led by Associate Professor, Dr. Dang Xuan Khang - Standing Member of the Party Committee, Chairman of the University's Trade Union - visited, presented gifts and interacted with war invalids at Thuan Thanh War Invalids Nursing Center - Bac Ninh.Visiting and giving gifts to war invalids is an annual activity of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, demonstrating the tradition of "When drinking water, remember its source", an opportunity for the school's staff to express their gratitude and appreciation to the soldiers who sacrificed part of their blood and bones for the independence of the nation. At the beginning of the meeting, comrade Nguyen Khac Du (Party Secretary, Director of the Center) briefly introduced the operation of Thuan Thanh War Invalids Nursing Center. The Center is a unit under the Ministry of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs, currently caring for 97 seriously wounded soldiers from 23 provinces and cities across the country. Since its establishment, the Center has received and cared for thousands of wounded soldiers. Many comrades have recovered and returned to their families, but there are also comrades who passed away due to severe relapse of their wounds and were honored as Martyrs. Currently, the Center has 2 comrades who are war invalids from the anti-French period. Many comrades are paralyzed due to the effects of injuries or Agent Orange, so all treatment and daily activities must be taken care of by doctors, nurses and relatives on site. Nearly 20 comrades without wives or children will be treated at the Center for the rest of their lives. Comrade Nguyen Khac Du expressed his excitement when the delegation of cadres and lecturers from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities visited, shared and encouraged the wounded and sick soldiers of the Center and sent his sincere thanks to the Party Committee, the Board of Directors and all the school staff for sending a delegation to visit and encourage the wounded and sick soldiers of the Center. On behalf of the School, Associate Professor, Dr. Dang Xuan Khang delivered a speech expressing the feelings, gratitude and encouragement of the staff, civil servants and students of the School to the wounded and sick soldiers who are being treated at the Center and sharing the losses and pain of the wounded and sick soldiers as well as encouraging them to overcome the pain and loss, continuing to be exemplary models for the younger generations to follow. On this occasion, the Delegation also presented gifts of 5 million VND and candy to the wounded and sick soldiers of the Center. In response to the concern and sharing of the delegation, the wounded and sick soldiers of the Center spoke to express their joy, emotion and send their sincere thanks to the Party Committee, the Board of Directors and all the staff and civil servants of the School. The cultural exchange between the delegation's staff and the wounded and sick soldiers of the Center was brief but impressive and touching, making the atmosphere in the Hall warmer and everyone felt closer to each other. After the exchange session in the Hall, the delegation of the School visited and gave gifts to encourage the seriously wounded soldiers who had to be treated on-site in the Center's housing areas. When meeting the wounded soldiers, the delegation members all had a deep impression, sympathy and admiration for the extraordinary spirit and determination of the "disabled but not useless" brothers and sisters here. The visit of the delegation of the School was a great success. The warm handshakes of the army and people and the sharing between the delegation's cadres and the leaders as well as the seriously wounded soldiers will forever be beautiful memories in everyone's heart. Before that, the delegation visited Dung Liet commune - where the cadres and students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (formerly Hanoi University of Science) evacuated during the years of fighting against the US to save the country. On this occasion, the delegation presented Dung Liet Primary School with more than 2,000 notebooks and 20 scholarships (each worth 500,000 VND) to students from families with preferential policies and students with difficult circumstances who have overcome difficulties to study well.
