Artists sell memorabilia to support the poor during Tet (Lunar New Year).
Miss Ky Duyen, singers Hoang Bach, Trang Nhung, Kyo York, and Pham Hong Phuoc have sent many mementos to participate in the auction, raising funds to support people in difficult circumstances.
To support the charity auction program, Trang Nhung donated the ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) she wore in her live show celebrating 15 years of singing.
"This is a traditional Vietnamese dress that Trang Nhung cherishes and wants to keep as a memento for the rest of her life. But when she heard about the Tet An Binh fundraising campaign, Nhung decided to donate it to the program. Hopefully, Nhung's memento can become a meaningful small gift for the Thai people in Nghe An," she said.

With the theme "Peaceful Tet - Warm Family Love," the "Peaceful Tet" fundraising garage sale program organized by ABBANK calls for contributions from individuals and communities nationwide to help provide Tet celebrations for impoverished people in Luc Da and Yen Khe communes, Con Cuong district, Nghe An province.
The family of Ms. Lo Thi Hoang in Trung Chinh village, Yen Khe commune, is also a case of particularly difficult circumstances in the commune. Without land or gardens, the couple only knows how to work as laborers to earn enough to eat.
The son, now 19 years old, has suffered from polio and epilepsy since childhood and still requires monthly medication and treatment at the provincial hospital.
For the past few months, there have been no job opportunities, so their child hasn't had medicine, and the family has only been surviving on vegetables and rice porridge. Upon hearing that the "Peaceful Tet" program would be visiting and giving early Tet gifts to poor households in the commune, the couple couldn't contain their joy and emotion.

There are still many unfortunate circumstances like that of Ms. Lo Thi Hoang's family that need the community's support so that they can have a more peaceful and warm Tet holiday. Miss Vietnam 2014, Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen, in her role as ambassador for the program, will be present in the locality to distribute nearly 300 Tet gifts to the poor.
