In which, there are 7 extremely disadvantaged cases receiving subsidies from scholarship funds sponsored by local donors”. During this visit, CJ Vina Agri gave a scholarship of VND 5 million to the Board of Directors to transfer to the children's families to make their life less difficult and encourage them to continue to go to school.
