HUTECH-ers bringing the lanterns to impoverished families during Mid-Autumn Festival

These last few days, the campus of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH) has been rather exciting with scenes of crowds of students regularly gathering around. Those are the “quick meetings” aimed at making gifts for the children and families with impoverished backgrounds to help them celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. 

The Mid-Autumn Festival is an occasion for family reunion, but not everyone can afford to play and enjoy the festival with mooncakes and warm lanterns. Understanding those hardships, the students at HUTECH have banded together to bring the festivity, sweetness, and warmth of the Mid-Autumn Festival to various regions in Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces to help light up the moonlit night. 
 

The meaningful program for the Mid-Autumn Festival organized by the students of the Economics and Finance Department at HUTECH has reached the students at Vam Sat elementary school (Can Gio District) 

On October 1, the students from the Economics and Finance Department reached Vam Sat elementary school (in Ly Nhon, Can Gio district) along with various meaningful gifts for the students here. Accompanying them was Doctor Kieu Tuan - The Party Committee Secretary and Chairman of the Board at HUTECH, Mr. Nguyen Cong Mau - The Party Committee Deputy Secretary, Head of the Office of the Party Committee at HUTECH, Associate Professor Tran Van Tung - The Dean of the Dpartment of Economics and Finance, along with other teachers of the faculty. Additionally, joining this meaningful journey were Nguyen Thuy Khanh Linh - the Financial Director of Van Kien Thanh Construction and Services Limited and Cao Duc Tai - the Representative of the MGO2 Department from the stock brokerage company MB.

The students from the Drama Club also entertained the children with multiple entertaining and exciting performances so that they could enjoy the festival to the fullest.

Along with the first days of the week when everyone was excited while waiting for the annual Festival for the Communist Youths on September 24 and 25, the freshmen and students at the Institute of Applied Sciences at HUTECH worked together to make handmade mooncakes under the guidance of Huynh Kim Phung, MA - a teacher of the Institute. Upon completion, the students wrapped the fragrant and delicious mooncakes, added decorations, and gifted them to the teachers, the janitors, and security guards - the silent “heroes” who always accompany them to create a positive, friendly and safe environment for their studies.

Another Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the warmth from the students of HUTECH was shared with families and children with disadvantageous backgrounds. This will not only be meaningful and entertaining event for the community, but it will also be a wonderful memory for the students during their blossoming youth while still on campus.
