At the second round of support, lots of food and essential items from benefactors throughout the country were transferred to HUFI. The volunteers, HUFI’s staffs and students, divided them into the bags and distribute to needy students.
Volunteer Le Quoc Khang majoring in Mechanical Engineering Technology said: “As a student, I understand their difficulties, so the bundles of vegetables, packets of noodles or bottles of cooking oil and fish sauce are great valued gifts to them right now. Participating in volunteer team is my great happiness because I can contribute myself to repel the difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic."
