Miss Vietnam runner up joins charity walk to benefit schools

VOV.VN - The US not for profit Build a School Foundation got some star support from Miss Vietnam runner-up Thuy Dung at a recent charity walk raising money to help fund the cost of building schools in Vietnam.

The event is part of a global effort in which charity walks are being held in the US, Australia and Vietnam to raise US$20,000 to build six more schools in Vietnam.

As part of the effort, donors can make pledges online and donate through PayPal.

Currently schools in Ca Mau, Nam Tra My and Dam Doi are under construction.

The Build a School Foundation is doing a great service to the youth of Vietnam, says Thuy Dung.

She adds that she truly applauds and respects the Foundation for what they do to help Vietnamese youth.
