The editor-in-chief of Dantri/DTiNews newspaper has decided to use VND57 million (USD2,696) from its Compassionate Hearts Charity Fund to aid victims of floods and storms in Quang Binh Province.
Handing over the funding to the needy
The funding is to give a helping hand to three families who lost members. They'll get VND5 million each and 21 families whose houses were destroyed will get VND2 million each.
On October 20, the money was presented to the victims in Quang Son Commune, Quang Trach District.
Hoang Viet Hung, Director of the provincial Department of Information and Communication, said Linh Can Hau and Ha Son Hamlets in Quang Son Commune, were hardest hit by the recent storm and floods.
“Storms and floods caused damages worth billions of VND in Quang Son Commune,” said Tran Dinh Suu, Vice Chairman of the communal People’s Commitee.
