The "Donating Ao Dai – Preserving Vietnamese Beauty" program aims to call for the participation of members, benefactors, and the Vietnamese community to donate new, beautiful, and well-preserved ao dai. These will be given to individuals who love the Vietnamese ao dai and those who have not had the opportunity to own this traditional attire.

With its practical significance, the ao dai is not only a traditional costume but also a symbol of Vietnamese culture, embodying the elegance, gentleness, and spirit of Vietnamese women.

Thus, donating ao dai not only provides material support but also helps spread national cultural identity, strengthen community connections, and promote the image of Vietnam to international friends.

In the journey to preserve and spread national cultural identity abroad, the Vietnamese ao dai is not just a traditional costume but also a symbol of soul, character, and national pride.

Mr. Pham Gia Hau, Chairman of the Vietnam Cultural and Arts Association in Czech, emphasized: “For the Vietnamese community abroad, especially in Czech, the ao dai is not only attire for festivals but also a cultural link, helping the younger generation understand their roots. We hope that through this program, each ao dai donated will be a cultural story continued, a pride preserved and spread within the community.”

According to him, calling for ao dai donations is not only about material support but also a practical action to nurture the love for Vietnamese culture among overseas Vietnamese, especially the younger generation born and raised abroad.

“We believe that when a child wears an ao dai, it is not only a beautiful moment in appearance but also a touch of cultural depth,” Mr. Pham Gia Hau shared.
