Huynh Boi Nghi (8th grade, Nguyen Van Luong Secondary School, Binh Phu Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) said that she was accompanied by her younger sister, Ai Nghi, who is in kindergarten. Boi Nghi's piggy bank had been saving for about 5 months.
When she heard her mother say that this year's "Tet for Children" program would include giving gifts to friends in flood-affected areas, Boi Nghi didn't hesitate to contribute immediately.
These piggy banks are the ones the children have been saving up for many days.
