FrieslandCampina Viet Nam has donated VNĐ600 million (US$26,666) to the Viet Nam Red Cross Society for giving Tet gifts to poor people and Agent Orange victims around the country.

The Red Cross campaign will this year raise funds from local and international donors to provide gifts worth at least VND300,000 ($14) each to 1-1.5 million people.

The campaign began in 1999, and has since raised more than VND4.5 trillion ($200 million) and given gifts to more than 17 million people.

FrieslandCampina Viet Nam has also donated more than VND3 billion ($133,333) over the last five years for another Red Cross programme to donate cows to poor farmers in disadvantaged regions. — VNS
