Dong Hanh Singapore Concert 2024 supports Vietnamese students in need

Hanoi, December 9 (VNA) - The Dong Hanh Singapore scholarship fund, in collaboration with the Vietnamese community in Singapore, held the Dong Hanh Singapore Concert 2024 in support of disadvantaged and excellent students from Vietnamese universities.

In his speech, Vietnamese Ambassador to Singapore Mai Phuoc Dung congratulated the Dong Hanh Singapore Fund on its successful 10-year journey, adding that the fundraising concert not only creates a platform to strengthen community bonds but also contributes to supporting students facing financial hardships in Vietnam.

The concert featured a diverse lineup of performances, including solo and ensemble pieces by both amateur and professional singers and musicians from Vietnam and Singapore, creating uplifting moments for the nearly 100 attendees.

On the occasion, several art pieces were also put on auction to raise funds.

A non-profit scholarship fund originating from the Dong Hanh Association in France, the Dong Hanh Singapore was founded in 2014 by Vietnamese students in Singapore. Over the past decade, the fund has earned the trust of donors and students within the Vietnamese community in both Singapore and Vietnam.

As of November 2024, the fund had awarded 348 scholarships, each worth 10 million VND (400 USD), to students enrolled at the University of Languages and International Studies under the Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-Hanoi), the University of Engineering and Technology under the VNU-Hanoi and the University of Economics and Law under the VNU-Ho Chi Minh City./.
