HCM CITY (VNS)– Thousands of paediatric patients in HCM City and Ha Noi will receive moon cakes, lanterns and other gifts as part of a Mid-Autumn Festival celebration called Trai Tim Hong (Pink Heart).

During the celebration held today at the city's Paediatrics Hospital 2 and tomorrow at the Ha Noi-based Central Paediatrics Hospital, the kids take part in mooncake baking, reading and traditional games, and enjoy free haircuts as well.

There are flea markets selling low-priced clothes, stationery and books. All proceeds from the sales will be given to needy patients.
