Singapore concert raises funds for Vietnamese kids' mid-autumn festival

Vietnamese Ambassador Mai Phuoc Dung said that the event was an opportunity for the community to come together, and turn their hearts to the homeland.

Lovely melodies about Hanoi graced the event through the performances of professional singers, and Vietnamese talents.

Trinh Thi Mai, a 39-year-old worker who has been in Singapore for five years, said she was delighted to attend this meaningful event.

Liz Nguyen, a representative from the organising board, said the event was meticulously prepared, and the proceeds, small in value as it was, will make practical contributions to organising the mid-autumn festival for the kids next month.
