Hanoi (VNA) – The Hanoi International Women’s Club (HIWC) will organise its annual charity fair at St Paul American School – Splendora in Hanoi’s Hoai Duc district on November 27.

Under a winter wonderland and Christmas theme, the 25th HIWC Bazaar will take place in conjunction with the 30th founding anniversary of the HIWC.

It will feature traditional food and handicrafts from 43 embassies and international organisations.

A live musical concert, with the performance of Korean opera singer Sung Min Park, pianist Trang Trinh, the Hanoi Brass Band and the African Band, among others, is expected to take visitors by storm.
