WHAT LIGHT DAY 3 MEANS TO ME
The title sounds a little sentimental—and it really is 😃
To write my reflections on LIGHT DAY 3, held more than 3 weeks ago, I had to look back through photographer Tuấn Lê's images to “invite” the emotions to return. That also allowed me to “relive” those lively, joyful, meaningful moments.
You could say this LIGHT event had the most systematic and thorough advance preparation we have ever had—from clothing and coordination with local authorities at sales locations to staffing. Although there were a few small hiccups during the program, they were nothing compared with the LIGHTERs’ all-out fighting spirit.
The 2 days of LIGHTDAY brought me many emotions: anxiety when the sales location was unfavorable, then joy when we found a solution to the location problem. and the happiness of seeing children aged 8–10 smiling after choosing clothes that fit them with their savings. At that moment, all I could do was stand and smile with happiness.
In truth, I feel I receive more than I give by participating in LIGHT ONE. I have the OPPORTUNITY to have the chance to give, I could smile more, my heart was moved more often by loving moments, and I learned more lessons about teamwork… and so much more.
Thank you to Mama Lê Thị Mai Chi, leader Trần Văn Tưởng, Ms. Hang Huynh, Ms. Châu Thị Hòa Mỹ, and all the LIGHTERs.
