SeABank's activities in Citizen Commitment Week 2010

The subscription and gifts contributed by enterprises are transferred to the disabled and underprivileged children right away during the program.2) Sponsoring “Charity Golf Tournament”This is the second time the “Charity Golf Tournament” has been held by Movenpick Hotel Group for charitable purposes. Once upon receipt of the invitation letter from the organizing board, SeABank decided to sponsor this golf tournament with a hope to attract more golfers to join and contribute to the charity fund for children with heart-related diseases via the Fund “Nhịp tim Việt Nam - Heartbeat Vietnam” (http://www.nhiptimvietnam.vn/; http://heartbeatvietnam.com/). SeABank sponsored the golf tournament with an amount of 15 million VND.3) Supporting orphans revived in Bồ Đề PagodaIn preparation for this event, since recognition of SG’s notices, the organizing board called on the entire management and staff to contribute books, clothes, gifts, and money to such disadvantaged children. After three weeks of receiving contribution from staff, on 10/6/2010, SeABank’s delegation started the charity trip named “Mỗi ngày một nụ cười” (“A smile every day”)

Following come some images of the trip:

Gifts carefully packaged ready for a compassionated trip

And fully loaded

It rained heavily the previously but became fine in the early morning, the cool and healthy weather served as a support to the charitable hearts of SeABank’s delegation

Our initial feelings came to the peaceful and quite scenery of the ancient pagoda where nearly 100 orphans and 10 disadvantaged elders are being nourished

On seeing us, the children rushed out with delights

Mrs Lê Thu Thủy – Standing Member of the Board of Directors handed over the subscription and gifts to Senior Monk Đàm Lan – The Head of Bồ Đề Pagoda, who revive the children

The children are eager to receive the new TV, toys and gifts from SeABank

Toys and gifts were immediately distributed. Babies were all delighted to get them

Innocent eyes seeking for protection

Babies with congenital malformation also need the society’s care

Humanity connects charitable hearts towards orphans

We pray Buddha to protect these pitiful destinies, and wish that they will overcome the situation for “one smile every day”

We, together with Senior Monk Đàm Lan and the children, took a photo to keep this unforgettable memory before the farewell moment

Children accompanying SeABank’s delegation had a lesson on community sharing responsibilities and awareness

We left with thanks, not only for happiness we brought to the children, but also for the peaceful moment they brought to us as well as the recognition of luck we have to be born and grow up in happy and wealthy families

And even without words, any of us wishes more meaningful trips in the future for sharing, for giving and getting, even just “One day-one smile”.
