The program is jointly launched by the Vietnam Red Cross Society's Central Committee, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the National Humanitarian Portal 1400.
All troops and military employees can support the program by texting “BD” to 1407 between now and June 26, 2018, with text message contributing VND 20,000 to the fund.
This is a meaningful activity to raise funds for badly-off fishermen in coastal provinces of the country, helping them maintain their fishing activities while joining hands to firmly protect the national sovereignty over sea and islands.
