Hanoi, Sep 19 (Prensa Latina) The campaign to support Cuba launched here 38 days ago by the Vietnam Red Cross daily demonstrates that the affection of millions of Vietnamese for the island continues to overflow like the waves of the sea.
This was noted by the humanitarian social organization itself in one of the posts published on its Facebook page to update on the progress of the initiative, which as of last Wednesday had received more than 2,041,000 contributions totaling approximately 424 billion dong (more than 16,600,000 dollars).
"Each issue is a token of love sent to a distant friend," wrote the Vietnamese Red Cross, which also highlighted the international reach of the campaign, which takes place in the context of the Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Year and the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Among the most recent news released by the organization is the participation of the Vietnam Peacekeeping Office's level two, number six, war hospital, currently serving with the United Nations mission in South Sudan (UNMIS), as well as the police in Lang Son province.
Every contribution, no matter how small, is seen as a noble and beautiful gesture that expresses warm affection and gives strength to the Cuban people, a traditional friend of Vietnam, the organization insisted.
With the goal of raising 65 billion dong (2.47 million dollars), the campaign began on August 13, the occasion of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro's 99th birthday. However, just 30 hours after its launch, it reached its initial goal.
According to Nguyen Hai Anh, President of the Vietnam Red Cross Society, this is the first time that an international campaign led by the organization has reached such a magnitude, both in terms of funds raised and number of participants, in such a short period of time.
At the campaign launch ceremony, Do Van Chien, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) and Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, emphasized that this action demonstrates the Vietnamese people's tradition of humanity and the deep friendship between the peoples of both nations.
The program not only seeks to provide material support to overcome the immediate difficulties Cuba is facing, but also to strongly spread a message of empathy and international solidarity, Van Chien noted, reiterating that, under any circumstances, the Vietnamese people always stand with the Cuban people.
This, he emphasized, is a traditional connection of affection that spans 65 years and in which "fraternal affection has overcome all geographical distances and economic conditions to become an enduring spiritual value."
