In addition to gifts, the club will send 20,000 letters and New Year cards of people across the country to the soldiers.

Thousands of gifts and hundreds of tonnes of essential goods have been prepared for soldiers and people in the Truong Sa archipelago and other islands on the occasion of the upcoming Tet (Lunar New Year) festival.

The central province of Khanh Hoa as well as many organisations and individuals contributed gifts, essential goods, rice, and confectionery to ensure that the soldiers and people on the islands do not miss out on enjoying the year’s biggest traditional festival.
