Samsung Vietnam, employees donate VNĐ5 billion to flood-hit central provinces

The donation was given through the Fatherland Front Co妹妹ittees of Bắc Ninh and Thái Nguyên provinces and partly delivered directly by Samsung to people in flooded areas.
Earlier, Samsung Vietnam factories launched a fundraising progra妹妹e for those affected by natural disasters in the central region.

The Samsung sales office (SAVINA) has implemented the progra妹妹e 'Joining hands with people in the central region to overcome the effects of floods' in the six most severely affected provinces.
Choi Joo Ho, President of Samsung Vietnam, said: “Social responsibility is considered as an important part of the business philosophy, Samsung always accompanies Việt Nam in co妹妹unity activities. Sympathising with the great losses in the central region, we hope that the fundraising activities at Samsung will help people overcome difficulties and consequences after the floods to stabilise their lives soon. Along with that, many of our employees were born and raised in the central region, so this supportive activity is also the most practical sharing of the company with the employees.”
Participating in the swiping donation nearly 八0 times (one swipe is worth VNĐ 五,000), Phạm Quốc Việt, an employee of Samsung Electronics Vietnam Thái Nguyên (SEVT), said: “My family in Thái Nguyên are also farmers, I deeply understand and empathise to the losses of the people in the floodplain.
