New Year gifts to Vietnamese expatriates in Cambodia

A delegation of the Vietnam Fund for Community Development has arrived in Cambodia to visit and present gifts to overseas Vietnamese (OVs) living in the country on the occasion of the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
The delegation, led by the Fund’s chairwoman Truong My Hoa, had working sessions with the Cambodian authorities in the provinces of Preah Sihanouk, Koh Kong and Siem Reap in order to establish friendly relations between the authorities and the Vietnamese community there.

During the visit, the delegation also met OVs to inquire into advantages and difficulties in their daily life.

On the occasion, the delegation gave nearly 600 presents worth US$12,000 to Vietnamese and Khmer poor families in the three provinces and presented 15 gifts to Vietnamese children, who had good results in the 2010-2011 academic year in the province of Preah Sihanouk.

The presents were donated by enterprises, organizations and sponsors in Vietnam.
