This is part of a UGVF campaign to turn hearts toward the homeland as many people in Vietnam suffer the consequences of natural disasters. Nguyen Thanh Tong, former Chairman of the Vietnamese People’s Association in France, says the money will be used to build a school in a safe place where people can go when floods occur. Tong said in the 100 years since its establishment, the Association has been united and has supported the homeland’s efforts in national construction and defense.
