As a co-organiser of the Dantri/Dtinews Online Newspaper Power Saving With Cool Initiatives competition, Casper Vietnam has decided to donate the VND100 million for a charity project after no first prizes were announced.
According to the organisers, they received 452 entries to the competition and presented nine second prizes and 26 third prizes to the 35 best initiatives.
Speaking at the awards ceremony held on Tuesday, Ambassador of Casper Vietnam, Miss World Vietnam 2022 Huynh Nguyen Mai Phuong, said that although they didn't give a first prize in the competition, they wanted to offer the cash prize to Dantri/Dtinews Newspaper’s charity work.
Dantri/Dtinews published an article about poor residents in Dong Giang A Village in Can Tho calling for financial support to build a bridge over a local canal.
Dong Giang A Village has over 30 households that can only be accessed via a canal. Due to limited budget, local authorities have been unable to build a bridge. Local people hope to receive some financial support to help build a bridge so that they can travel better and have access to clean water as well as improve their livelihoods.
