With these changes, this event is an opportunity for the members to become closer and closer to each other, so they could continue the tradition in the next Tet Am Ap
By sharing informative articles about Tet and wrapping banh chung (glutinous rice cake), Tet Am Ap had provided readers with many messages about humanity and love. This event also had a rice cake - making contest, with creative and fun prizes. The contest received great responses from everyone. Each award was a great source of motivation for the members to continue their noble missions.
