The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation in Vietnam (HSBC) on August 30 launched a programme to collect a thousand best wishes to mark the 1000 th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.

For each chosen wish, HSBC will donate 500,000 VND to a scholarship fund of Tuoi Tre Newspaper. By the end of the project, a total of 500 million VND will be granted to 100 disadvantaged students to cover their living and study expenses.

Ton That Anh Vu, a senior officer of HSBC, said that HSBC would like to convey Vietnamese citizens’ best wishes for prosperity and development on the millennial birthday of the capital city, and the program would bring about practical benefits in training young generations.

The event will last until September 24. All Vietnamese citizens who wish to join the program can visit the website http://www.ngandieuuoc.com/ or send email to hsbc@ngandieuuoc.com for registration./.
