Over 2.2 billion VND raised for Agent Orange victims
A charity musical performance entitled “Spring for You” took place at Da Nang’s Trung Vuong Theatre on Tuesday evening.
The hearts of more than 1,000 audience members were deeply touched by the many delightful singing and dancing performances from the local AO-affected children.
Over 2.2 billion VND was raised from domestic and foreign individuals and organisations during the event. The donations will help local AO victims across the city, including around 200 children who are living at Da Nang’s Support Centres for AO Victims and Disadvantaged Children.
