PANO- A program, “Clothing Collection Day for Needy Children”, was held on the morning of July 21st at the Trade Centre Savico Megamall in Long Bien district, with the participation of over 1,000 volunteers and Miss Vietnam 2012 Dang Thu Thao, IMC’s ambassador.
Over 40,000 articles of clothing, with weight of nearly 10 tons, were collected at the event, which set the Guinness World Record for the most clothing donated in 24 hours.
Reportedly, the clothes will be handed over to poor children in Ha Giang and Yen Bai province through the Vu A Dinh scholarship fund and student movement from Hanoi National University.
The program was jointly organized by EB-Big C Vietnam Service Co. Ltd., Vietnam Television, and IMC- International Media Communication Company.
