A war invalid, Pham Van Binh, 75, said that he was very moved to receive support from the newspaper local authorities.
"Thanks to support from the government and various organisations, we are having a good life," Binh said. "Your support has given us motivation to overcome the painful injuries and various challenges in modern lives. Thank you so much."
