On December 28, 2014 at the Command of Naval Region 1 (Thuy Nguyen, Hai Phong), Tuoi Tre News coordinated with Commander of the Navy and Dong Tam Joint Stock Company to organize the event “Together We Protect The Sovereignty of East Sea” to present scholarships to students whose parents are officers and soldiers in the Navy.
Each 3-million scholarship from the sponsor – Dong Tam Joint Stock Company – was given to 120 disadvantaged but studious students whose parents are naval officers and soldiers in Hai Phong city and other neighboring provinces, tallying the total amount of 333 scholarships up to1 billion VND from Dong Tam Joint Stock Company. At Cam Rang military port (Khanh Hoa), the same scholarship program was also applied to 64 disadvantaged students whose parents serve in the Navy.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Hung, General Manager of Dong Tam Joint Stock Company, placed his hope in the students: “ This scholarship will help encourage the students with disadvantaged background to study harder for their parents to focus on protecting the sovereignty over our sacred sea and islands.”
The program “Together We Protect The Sovereignty of East Sea”, commenced by Tuoi Tre News from May 2014 and has received 55 billions VND, sponsored by enterprises and Tuoi Tre readers nationwide.
On the same day, representatives from Tuoi Tre News and the sponsors went to the Command of Naval Region 1’s memorial to burn incense for the fallen soldiers.
