This year, 2,000 students and workers in difficult circumstances were given free bus tickets.

In addition to supporting free bus tickets, students and workers are also given a Tet gift worth 500,000 VND.

The "Spring Bus Trip" program was initiated and implemented annually by the City Student Support Center (now Ho Chi Minh City Student Cultural House) since 2002, and so far 64,625 disadvantaged students have been supported to return to their hometowns for Tet.

From there, it contributes to educating love for homeland and family traditions, bringing deep humanistic values, helping to connect family feelings and regenerate energy after a year of being heavily affected by natural disasters and economic fluctuations".
