As part of Da Nang's ongoing ‘Warm Humanity’ programme, a charity musical concert will take place at the Trung Vuong Theatre at 7.30pm tonight (30 May).  The intention is to raise funds for poor and disadvantaged people across the city, including children in very difficult circumstances.

The event is being co-organised by the municipal Association of Charities and Children’s Rights Protection, the Department of Culture and Sports, Da Nang Radio and Television, the DA NANG Newspaper, and the Da Nang Police Newspaper.

It will feature famous domestic singers Anh Tuyet, Quang Hao, Huyen Trang, Quoc Dai and Hong Minh.  Also at the event, local children in very difficult circumstances will be presented with cash and gifts from generous donors.

In the nearly 2 months since its launch, the ‘Warm Humanity’ programme has raised a total of over 1.2 billion VND from 151 organisations and individuals from both home and abroad.  In particular, the Hy Ma company has donated 100 million VND, the Nhat Huy Construction and Trading company 100 million VND, the Most Venerable Thich Thong Quang from the Lien Tri Pagoda in Son Tra District 82 million VND, and Mr Nguyen Van Dung from Lien Chieu District 72 million VND.

Over recent years, the Association of Charities and Children’s Rights Protection has carried out numerous charitable activities across the city to help poor local people.  However, there are still many disadvantaged people in the city who are in need of help.  In particular there are many patients with life-threatening diseases who are facing financial difficulties and physical pain, and thousands of local AO-affected, orphaned and disabled children who present a high risk of dropping out of school due to their very poor situations.
