With a spirit of sharing and community responsibility inherent to healthcare individuals, the Medical Health Club of Van Hien University recently organized a meaningful charity trip to An Lac Shelter.
The trip not only brought practical gifts—including essential supplies, pastries, milk, and daily necessities—but also served as an opportunity for club members to convey their care and love to the underprivileged individuals being cared for at the shelter.

In a warm and intimate atmosphere, the students engaged in conversations, organized recreational activities, and shared memorable moments with both the children and the elderly living there. The innocent smiles, touching glances, and sincere handshakes became invaluable spiritual gifts for all participating members.
This volunteer activity at An Lac Shelter not only contributed to supporting the community but also provided an opportunity for students to cultivate compassion, a sense of social responsibility, and the essential qualities required of future healthcare professionals. This is also one of the meaningful activities that contributes to fulfilling the mission of "Learning to Serve the Community" that Van Hien University always aims for.
* Each small action can create a big change.
* Each act of sharing contributes to lighting up hope.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Management Board of An Lac Shelter for creating favorable conditions for the program to run smoothly.

The journey of spreading love will continue, and we hope to receive the companionship of even more compassionate hearts in our upcoming activities.
