50 years of city bearing Uncle Ho's name: Spreading kindness through community projects

Ho Chi Minh City's Chợ Quán ward marked the 50th anniversary of the city's renaming with a "Chợ Quán Solidarity - For the Community" event on June 28, 2026. This celebration highlighted practical contributions to improving residents' lives and fostering a spirit of unity and compassion.

The event, held by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Chợ Quán ward, commemorated 50 years since Saigon-Gia Dinh was officially named Ho Chi Minh City on July 2, 1976. Prior to the main program, leaders presented a repaired "Great Solidarity House" to Mr. Trịnh Ngưu and visited Mr. Diệp Bắc Minh, whose family received assistance for home improvements.

These initiatives aim to support disadvantaged residents, enhance their living conditions, and provide motivation for them to achieve stable lives. The ward committee emphasized that Ho Chi Minh City has consistently upheld its role as an economic leader while promoting values of solidarity, kindness, and humanity over its 50-year development.

During the event, outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions to local community work were honored. Furthermore, various organizations, including Hoa ethnic community associations, religious institutions, and the ward's Fatherland Front committee, pledged new projects. These commitments, totaling 350 million Vietnamese dong, include monthly support for 115 needy households, repairs for two "Great Solidarity Houses," upgrades to one restroom, provision of four livelihood tools, and the creation of three "Myriad Hues of Flowers" projects.
