The seventh ‘One heart-One world’ charity arts programme took place in Hanoi on April 18, raising nearly VND10 billion from sponsors, individuals and TV audience to help people with disabilities.
Another VND400 million was raised for the Fund of the Vietnam Association for Sponsoring the Disabled and Orphans (VASDO) from the auctioning of two Mobifone SIM cards.
The event, held by VASDO in conjunction with Vietnam Television, was to honour shining examples of disabled people who have tried hard to overcome their own difficulties, and also to show gratitude to benefactors for helping the handicapped.
The annual programme has helped to attract more public awareness of the plight of disadvantaged people and has brought them closer to the rest of society.
Among the participants in ‘One heart-One world’ were Tong Thi Phong, Vice Chairwoman of the National Assembly, Pham Quang Nghi, Secretary of the Hanoi Municipal Party Committee, and Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs.
