The “Sunday of Love” program has been implemented since August 2017 by a group of volunteers called “Connecting Love,” which consists of officers from the National Assembly’s Social Affairs Committee, Hanoi Heart Hospital, and philanthropists. The program has been organized at numerous social protection centers in various provinces and cities across the country, featuring activities such as enhanced lunch, cardiovascular examinations, equipment support, and cash and in-kind gifts.

Through the “Ươm mầm tương lai” (Nurturing the Future) scholarship fund, the group has provided scholarships to many students. The group is committed to offering further support at higher levels of education to scholarship recipients who continue to overcome challenges and meet the requirements. Their activities have yielded positive results, making a significant impact on the community and providing valuable experiences in organizing volunteer activities.
