Hands of Sharing – A Warm Tet Season at Thien Chi Center Duc Linh

23/02/2026 Views: 580 Admin

In the days leading up to the Lunar New Year, when everyone is busy with their own preparations, a truly beautiful and meaningful scene took place at the Đức Linh office of the Thien Chi Center. Parents and students who receive monthly scholarships gathered early in the morning to clean and tidy the office, all in a spirit of complete voluntariness, love, and sharing.

What deeply moved us was that many families, living 20–30 kilometers away from the Center, still made time to travel long distances and arrive punctually to work together. No one was assigned tasks, no one was reminded—there were only smiles, quiet hands at work, and a genuine human connection.

The activity not only made the Center’s space cleaner and more orderly in preparation for the New Year, but also ignited a warm sense of community. It was a place where people did not come merely to receive support, but also to give back through their own efforts and heartfelt contributions. These were vivid lessons in responsibility, gratitude, and solidarity—lessons no textbook could ever replace.

After the activity, the Center presented meaningful Tet gifts to 47 families whose children are receiving monthly scholarships, as a sincere gesture of appreciation and New Year wishes. Though modest in material value, the gifts carried deep respect, affection, and hope for a better year ahead.

We sincerely thank all the families, students, and the community for their valuable companionship and support. It is this collective effort that creates sustainable values for the Center and spreads kindness in everyday life.

Wishing all families a joyful, warm, and loving Lunar New Year, filled with peace and renewed hope.
