The launch of the month is aimed at promoting good deeds among the public and enhancing authorities’ sense of responsibility towards humanitarian activities, contributing to easing poverty and building a community of solidarity.

At the ceremony, VND 42 billion was raised by local organizations, individuals and donors.

On this occasion, the Vietnam Red Cross Society's Central Committee also launched a charity texting campaign, which will run until June 26, to support impoverished fishermen. Accordingly, each SMS with the content “BD” sent to 1407 will donate VND 20,000 to the fund.
