Entering December 2023, the 9th Warm Porridge season officially launched, continuing the journey of giving love to warm up the cold winter nights.

Dai Nam University Student Volunteer Team launches Warm Porridge season 2023.

Warm porridge is an annual volunteer activity organized by the Youth Union of Dai Nam University, within the framework of the program "Warm winter love". With the message "a piece given, a thousand loves received" , this activity has attracted a large number of students to participate. Every year, when winter comes, the Volunteer Student Team of Dai Nam University will cook porridge together, bringing it to the poor workers, the homeless, and the homeless.

This year, Warm Porridge will take place for 8 weeks from early December 2023 to late January 2024 with 24 porridge batches, 2 more than the previous season. To make 24 batches of porridge to warm the winter for those in difficult circumstances, the Student Volunteer Team mobilized donations from sponsors and organized fundraising sales with a total revenue of up to 15 million VND.

Students prepare and process the ingredients themselves, ensuring hygiene and adequate nutrition for the porridge portions.

Every week, the Team members will cook and distribute porridge on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. They will personally carry out all the steps from selecting ingredients, processing, to bringing warm porridge to the poor.

The volunteer porridge cooking activity is strictly controlled by the Youth Union of Dai Nam University in terms of nutritional quality and food hygiene and safety, ensuring that beneficiaries will receive the highest quality porridge.

Sharing about his first Warm Porridge season, Hoang Chung - a K17 student of the Nursing Department said: "This is the first Warm Porridge season I have participated in. I feel happy and excited to be able to go shopping, prepare ingredients and cook porridge with my friends. I am so happy that I can join hands to help those less fortunate than me!"

The steaming pot of porridge is the effort, passion and sincere love of Dai Nam University students sent to those in difficult circumstances.

For Thu Hien - a K14 Accounting student - who has participated in many Warm Porridge seasons, the feeling of bringing porridge to difficult circumstances is still the same as the first day: "It feels so warm to witness lonely circumstances, poor workers receiving porridge with joy. Although the porridge is small, it contains a lot of our enthusiasm and sincerity" .

The porridge portions were given to the poor workers.

Give love to the lonely lives on the streets.

The hot porridges of the students are not only nutritious meals but also priceless spiritual gifts. Besides the warm porridges, the students also spent time talking, listening and sharing with the poor and homeless. Their sincere sharing has helped the unfortunate people feel warmer in the middle of the winter night in Hanoi.

Mr. T., 71 years old, was moved when he received the porridge: "It's very cold out here at night. Thanks to the children who gave me porridge, I will be warm and sleep better tonight. I wish the children at Dai Nam school will bring joy to more people in difficult circumstances."

The happiness of homeless people when receiving a loving porridge.

“Through Warm Porridge, generations of students of Dai Nam University will learn how to love, sympathize, and share with those in less fortunate circumstances, thereby gaining motivation to study and having a correct and positive attitude towards life. Each bowl of porridge given away is a heart that is warmed. Through these meaningful activities, young people will learn many useful things in life, so that they can gradually improve themselves, become more mature and be grateful to everyone around them,” shared Mr. Vu Dang Tuan Anh - Secretary of the Youth Union of Dai Nam University.

With the annual Warm Porridge volunteer activity, not only do students and Union members grow up day by day, but through that, it also brightens the image of Dai Nam University students who are full of love and compassion, always dynamic and enthusiastic to contribute to the community and society.
