On the morning of July 22, 2025, a bicycle donation ceremony was held at Nguyen Tri Phuong Secondary School in Hue City, co-organized by the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations in Hue and Children of Vietnam (USA). The program aimed to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds, facilitating their commute to school and providing them with additional motivation to study and pursue their dreams.
Children of Vietnam (COV) is a nonprofit organization based in the United States. It has been working in Vietnam since 1998, with a mission to break the cycle of poverty by providing comprehensive support to children and families. In Vietnam, COV has carried out many meaningful projects such as giving scholarships, building classrooms in mountainous areas, providing nutritious meals for students, supporting children with disabilities, and single mothers. These efforts have helped improve the quality of life and education of thousands of children every year.
The ceremony took place in a warm, respectful, and emotional atmosphere. It was attended by representatives of Children of Vietnam (COV), the President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations of Hue City, the Deputy Director of Hue City’s Department of Education and Training, teachers from different schools, and 50 students who received bicycles.
At the ceremony, 50 bicycles were given to students from disadvantaged backgrounds. These students came from schools such as Loc Bon Secondary School, Nguyen Khoa Dang Secondary School, Nguyen Tri Phuong Secondary School, and various other schools in Hue City and nearby areas.
Having delivered a speech at the ceremony, the President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations of Hue City emphasized the importance of creating conditions for disadvantaged students, viewing this as a meaningful and practical mission within the realm of educational well-being.

At Nguyen Tri Phuong Secondary School, the program that provided 50 bicycles to 50 disadvantaged students created profound humanitarian meaning and significantly impacted the entire community.
The donated bicycles not only reduce the time it takes for disadvantaged students to get to school but also help ease the burden of their daily commute, allowing them to focus more on their studies. More than just physical gifts, these bicycles serve as a powerful source of spiritual encouragement, inspiring students to stay committed to learning and to keep nurturing their dreams.
For the community, the program demonstrates the spirit of mutual support and compassion.
