COMMENTARY

"Usually, businesses will follow the local proposal and only sign this proposal to support, but Viettel leaders and officials even go to the commune to check what people need, then support it. In addition to telecommunications, Viettel also supports charges, informatics training, study promotion, seed supply of plants and animals, etc. A lot of things at the same time. The gift for each household is not big, but the way Viettel personnel are divided into many teams, in the cold and rainy weather, directly bringing a warm Tet to each household made a great impression on us. My commune officials have also learned much from this approach when applied in the work of poverty reduction of local direction."

Mr. Tan Van Luc Chairman of the People's Committee of Mo O commune, Dakrong district, Quang Tri

"When doing this program, we have a strong belief that when we help the poor become rich and can become rich, at least they will remember us as nice, kind people. but even higher, they will use your services, speak well of themselves to others… Imagine how much money you have to spend to get tens of millions of people to love your company. We do not consider this as charity but as long-term investments for society and our business will benefit from this. The poor will not be poor forever if we give them the right opportunities and when they get out of poverty, they will come back to support the guests and create a circle of continuous development for society."
