The money will be used to pay for surgery for ten children born with heart disease and grant 50 scholarship and thousands of gifts to poor children, Agent Orange/ Dioxin victims and child patients to cheer them up on the occasion of the festival, which is a major event for Vietnamese children.
The programme this year will be held at the Hanoi Opera on September 6 (the 13th of September on the lunar calendar), and will be broadcast live on VTV2.
Besides special art performances by popular artists and children art clubs in Hanoi, television reports will be aired telling moving stories about children living in difficult circumstances.
