In the spirit of "mutual support and affection," the Vietnam National Drama Theatre, along with numerous artists, organised a special programme titled "Mid-Autumn Without Distance" on September 17 at Ho Guom Theatre in Hanoi. The event aimed to support those affected by Typhoon Yagi, known in Vietnam as Typhoon No.3, focusing especially on children.
This programme aligns with the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism's initiative to use artistic performances to raise funds for northern provinces severely impacted by storms and floods.
It also reflects the artists' commitment to community welfare, building on the success of previous initiatives which was held during the COVID-19 epidemic.
Artists performed for free, with all proceeds from ticket sales and donations channeled to storm-affected residents through reputable organisations. Despite being organised on short notice, the event garnered strong support and participation from many artists.
Beginning on September 15, various art troupes under the Ministry also launched performances to support flood victims.
Vietnamese peacekeepers in Abyei organised a Mid-Autumn Festival for nearly 200 students at the Abyei Church School, aiming to bring joy to underprivileged children and share Vietnamese culture with the international community.
Held at the Vietnamese engineering unit's Highway base, the event introduced the children to the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, highlighting its significance in Eastern culture, especially in Vietnam.
The Vietnamese engineering unit also presented gifts to students who passed university exams this year and donated supplies to the school.
This initiative not only strengthened the bond between Vietnamese peacekeepers and the local community but also brought a sense of joy and festivity to the children./.
