In response to the Month of Action for Children 2026 and on the occasion of International Children's Day June 1st, the Center for Social Work and the Children's Protection Fund under the Hue City Department of Health organized the “Festival for Children in Special Circumstances 2026” in Hue City on June 3rd 2026. The event aimed to create a recreational and interactive space where children receiving care at social protection centers and child care facilities across the city could participate in activities, socialize, and showcase their talents and interests. ACDC was honored to be one of the organizations supporting the event through the provision of scholarships for children in special circumstances.

Ms. Pham Thi Ai Nhi, Vice Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hue City, presented gifts directly to the representative of the Hue City Social Work Center
Speaking at the festival, Ms. Pham Thi Ai Nhi, Vice President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hue City, emphasized: “Caring for children, especially children in special circumstances, is not only the responsibility of government agencies but also a shared responsibility of society as a whole. To ensure that every child can grow up in a safe, healthy environment and achieve their full potential, I respectfully call upon all levels of government, sectors, and socio-political organizations to strengthen communication and awareness-raising efforts on child protection, care, and education, while mobilizing social resources to support children facing difficult circumstances. At the same time, I hope that businesses, organizations, and philanthropists will continue to accompany the city in social welfare initiatives and provide meaningful support for children through their generosity and compassion.”

Students with disabilities received scholarships from representatives of ACDC Institute, contributing to timely encouragement for them to continue their studies and strive for a better life
Through the award of 17 scholarships to children in special circumstances who are studying and living at social protection centers and care facilities across Hue City, ACDC hopes to encourage and motivate them to continue striving in their education and daily lives. Although modest in value, these scholarships represent a meaningful gesture of support and care for children in special circumstances while contributing to the promotion of compassion, solidarity, and humanitarian values within the community.
