On the anniversary of Vietnam Family Day – June 28, Dong Nai province holds a Cultural Family Festival

Families participate in the activities – “Have fun with your family”

    At the festival, families had a chance to take part in the contests: musical performance, cooking and multiple-choice knowledge tests and in the activities – “Have fun with your family”. Thereby, each family’s members had a chance to stay together, love each other more and understand each other better. Families had a chance to exchange ideas, discuss and learn experience from each other with the intention of maintaining a happy and lasting family relationship.

    The Vice chairwoman of the provincial People's Committee –Huynh Thi Nga – attended the festival and expressed her congratulations to more than 100 cultural families and especially 33 typical cultural families of the province who appeared at Dong Nai province’s Cultural Family Festival 2009. Also, she stressed that many people haven’t been aware of the role of the family and that many families have still pursued a material life but lacked interest in their family life. With the year 2009’s theme – “Preserve and promote the traditional values of Vietnamese families” – it is necessary that all levels and sectors keep enhancing the propaganda and the campaign for building cultural families among the people, which are closely associated with the province’s patriotic emulation movement and the campaign “Study and follow the ethical example of President Ho Chi Minh” so that families will be a cosy home for everybody.
