This photograph captures a meaningful and heartwarming moment, showcasing the noble humanitarian spirit of the 3rd Engineering Battalion of Vietnam. The frame features the radiant smile of a female staff member, along with the curious and joyful eyes of South Sudanese children receiving gifts on International Children's Day, June 1st, 2025. The scene is set at the Abyei Parish Church, where Vietnamese soldiers are carrying out their peacekeeping mission while spreading love to the local community. This small act not only brings joy to the children but also clearly demonstrates the image of the Vietnamese soldiers – "Uncle Ho's soldiers" – in the hearts of the international community – people who are not only skilled in combat but also possess a compassionate heart, ready to share and help those in need. This work is not just a documentary photograph but also a touching story about humanity and boundless sharing. It represents the spirit of international solidarity and is a source of pride for the Vietnamese people on the international stage in the realization of human rights.
