We often say that Mid-Autumn Festival is not just about the shimmering lanterns and the sweet taste of mooncakes, but it's also a moment of family, unity, and sharing, where every family comes together to create joy and warmth. However, does every child have the privilege to experience such joyful moments?

With the spirit of sharing the happiness of a family reunion day, "The Firebook 2023" project organized by The Cycle HCM Club was born, with the hope of delivering gifts to the children at Tan Binh Shelter.

We believe that your contribution holds significant importance for the success of this project. Let's together ignite the flame of volunteerism this Mid-Autumn Festival, to create a memorable day for these fragile hearts.
