Continuing to support international friends

VUFO's staff and departments contributed to Vietnam's Covid fund.

In the spirit of supporting and sharing with international friends, VUFO has implemented an initiative to support expats in the fight against Covid-19 in Vietnam since the beginning of the year. VUFO and its member organizations have mobilized nearly VND 19 billion (more than US$ 820.000) to support the people of other countries to cope with the pandemic.

Through online meetings, VUFO's member organizations have established contact points, issued documents to launch movements and call for donations. Among those friendship organizations, the Vietnam - Italy, Vietnam - Cuba; Vietnam - Laos, Vietnam - USA, Vietnam - Czech Republic, Vietnam - Romania, Vietnam - India, Vietnam - Cambodia, Vietnam - France, Vietnam - UK, Vietnam - Spain and friendship organizations in localities such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai have held outstanding activities.

Through the Cuban Embassy to Vietnam, Club of Vietnamese alumni in Cuba under the Vietnam - Cuba Friendship Association donated VND 393 million (US$ 17.000) to Cuban residents in the fight against the pandemic.

Countries and people in need of support are analyzed to be provided with the most appropriate and useful gifts. For example, some countries are in need of masks, some need antiseptic solutions, some partners want testing tools, some can only receive cash. Meanwhile, foreigners in Vietnam need to be supported with food. The means of transportation and donation are also arranged flexibly and in accordance with actual conditions. Gifts are transferred through embassies, friendship associations, or other channels and means.
