On November 14, the society chapter in Ho Chi Minh City will work with Vietnam Television to put on a concert, which will be broadcast live on VTV1. The event aims to honour individuals and organisations that have made great contributions to humanitarian activities and have assisted flood victims in the central and central highland regions.

VRC Central Committee has so far mobilised over US$5.5 million to support poor families in localities as well as 19,000 containers of essential supplies and over 4,000 tonnes of rice. It provided over VND100 billion to victims of the recent storms and floods.      

On November 11, the French Red Cross, through the VRC, donated EUR530,000 (equivalent to VND13 billion) to flood victims in Binh Dinh, Quang Ngai, Gia Lai and Kon Tum provinces. On the same day, Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology also gave VND219 million to Dak Sao commune in Tu Mo Rong district, Kon Tum province to repair schools after they were damaged by the recent storms.
