Laos and Hue are to exchange information on
conservation work following an understanding signed by The Hue Monuments
Conservation Centre and its Laos counterpart yesterday (Apr 22).
The Understanding the Heart Fund raised VND2.73
billion (US$130,000) on August 24 from 500 guests at an event in HCM
City to support social and community activities, including heart
surgeries for poor children and the disadvantaged.
After successful campaigns in 2010 and 2011, the
third Understanding the Heart programme to raise money for heart surgery
for poor children and disadvantaged people began last week.
