Oc Thanh Van reveals her parenting methods, moved by a particular quote.

Following filming in the Mekong Delta, the Vietnamese Family Shelter program continues its journey to the northern provinces, extending its mission of "Sharing happiness with the community".

The program is hosted by MC Duong Hong Phuc, MC Thanh Thao, Meritorious Artist Oc Thanh Van, and MC Lam Vy Da. Joining them during the filming sessions are many guests such as singer Luu Huong Giang, designer Do Long, MC Duc Bao, photographer Thien Minh, singer MLee, actress Minh Trang, actress Tram Anh, MC Thanh Thanh Huyen, and footballer Viet Anh…

Having been involved with the Vietnamese Family Shelter program, MC Duong Hong Phuc believes it's not simply an entertainment or reality TV show. For him, each filming session is also an opportunity to preserve true stories about the resilience of young children and the community's collective efforts in addressing difficult circumstances.

As the father of two children, the eldest of whom suffered from a congenital heart condition, Duong Hong Phuc has faced numerous challenges in raising his children. These experiences have helped him deeply understand the value of family bonds. The male MC has often been moved to tears when meeting young children who have lost their parents at a young age.

He hopes that the attention of artists and the community can somehow compensate for the hardships the children are experiencing, so that each child can feel loved and supported on their journey to adulthood.

Oc Thanh Van teaches her children to share.

Similarly to Duong Hong Phuc, Oc Thanh Van has had a long association with the Vietnamese Family Shelter program, from being a guest to taking on the role of host. During many filming sessions, the female MC brings her children along so they can have the opportunity to meet underprivileged children.

According to Oc Thanh Van, listening to real stories and witnessing firsthand the lives of their peers helps children gain a broader perspective on life. Through this, they learn to appreciate what they have and how to care for and share with others.

Following that educational approach, Oc Thanh Van also emphasizes guiding her children to use money wisely. The female MC believes that it's perfectly normal for children to like a particular item, and parents can still fulfill that desire. However, the important thing is to help children consider whether that item is truly necessary.

She used to set goals for her children to strive for, and treat their favorite items as rewards. Over time, the children gradually developed the habit of thinking carefully before each purchase without needing their mother's reminders.

What touched Oc Thanh Van the most was when her son said that he would try to earn a lot of money in the future to buy things for his mother, instead of just thinking about gifts for himself. For the female MC, these small changes in thinking show that her children are gradually learning to care about others and become more responsible with how they use money.

For actress Tram Anh, what impressed her most was that despite their difficult living conditions, the children still strived to study and never gave up hope for the future. Therefore, when she received an invitation to participate in the filming in Ninh Binh , the actress enthusiastically agreed.

As a viewer who had followed the program before, Tram Anh now had the opportunity to meet, listen to, and share with the featured individuals in person. She also hopes that their stories will spread more widely, thereby receiving more attention and support from the community.
