VRC President Nguyen Thi Xuan Thu expressed her thanks to the foundation, hoping they will maintain cooperation in humanitarian activities in the time to come.
Xuan said that the gifts will be allocated to provinces and cities that recorded positive cases, particularly those with recently reported pandemic outbreaks.

WeLoveU started in the Republic of Korea in the 1990s as a non-governmental organisation. Since its official launch in 2001, more than 155,000 members in 239 regions of 64 countries have been making efforts to improve the well-being of the socially underprivileged such as children, women, senior citizens, the disabled, disaster victims, refugees, and the poor, and to create communications and harmony in communities.
