In her opening speech at the ceremony, Principal Nguyen Thi Oanh emotionally shared: "These deeply meaningful gifts not only help our school overcome difficulties and stabilize teaching and learning conditions but also demonstrate the humanitarian spirit, social responsibility, and the beautiful tradition of community support from your organization - particularly towards disadvantaged and storm-affected areas. The care and companionship from MSD United Way Vietnam and the Sponsors through the 'Joining Hands to Overcome Typhoon - For a Resilient Vietnam' program have strengthened the confidence and determination of Van Thien Primary School's teachers and students in our journey of imparting knowledge and nurturing dreams for our beloved students."

Ms. Tran Van Anh – Representative of MSD United Way Vietnam, shared the objectives and significance of the project: "Our project 'Joining Hands to Overcome Typhoon– For a Resilient Vietnam' was launched with the goal of accompanying local communities in overcoming natural disaster consequences and ensuring children can return to classrooms in safe learning environments. To ensure children's educational journey continues uninterrupted after each flood season, the project focuses on implementing practical educational support activities, including providing learning equipment, facility upgrades, and nutritional support for students. Following typhoon Bualoi, we deeply understand the difficulties that families and schools have endured, and we strive to create the most favorable conditions for every student to return to school. Today, visiting Van Thien Primary School and receiving the warm welcome from all teachers and students, we feel further motivated and more confident in our campaign's mission. We believe floods may sweep away desks, chairs, and books, but they can never wash away every child's right to education, love, and development." She also expressed profound gratitude to partners who have trusted and joined MSD in its mission to "ensure no child faces the flood season alone" throughout the journey of supporting and empowering Van Thien Primary School.
