This memorial is a project funded and managed by the Vietnam Television Union in collaboration with the Vietnamese Loving Heart Fund, which allows local residents to come and pay their respects to the victims. The delegation also commemorated the victims of the deadly disaster that struck Nu village in Phuc Khanh Commune, Bao Yen District, Lao Cai Province on September 10, 2024, which claimed over 60 lives and left many missing.
On the same day, the Vietnam Television Union, in collaboration with the Bao Yen District People’s Committee and GBlife Global Joint Stock Company, presented 40 gift packages to 40 households in Nu Village.
