After more than two weeks of campaigning (from October 3-22), the Union of Vietnamese Associations in Czech, representing the Vietnamese community in Czech, handed over the second batch of support totaling 3.9 billion VND to help compatriots in Vietnam recover from the impact of storms No. 10 and No. 11.
The symbolic handover took place on the afternoon of October 22 (local time) at the headquarters of the Union of Vietnamese Associations in Czech, attended by Vietnamese Ambassador to Czech Duong Hoai Nam, Chairman of the Union Tran Van Dang, Vice Chairmen, representatives of Vietnamese associations in Czech, and Hoang Dinh Thang, a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, representing the receiving unit.
Ambassador Duong Hoai Nam stated that the total contributions from the Vietnamese community in Czech have reached 5.4 billion VND, with 1.5 billion VND from the first batch already sent to Vietnam earlier.
The remaining funds will soon be transferred to the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front to promptly support the storm-affected areas.

Ambassador Duong Hoai Nam emphasized that the swift response and substantial contributions this time reflect the profound spirit of “mutual affection and mutual aid” of the Vietnamese community in Czech, with the Union of Vietnamese Associations in Czech always leading in charitable activities aimed at the homeland.
He noted that in 2024, following Typhoon Yagi, the Vietnamese community in Czech also contributed 5.7 billion VND, becoming one of the earliest and most significant contributors to those affected in Vietnam.
The Ambassador expressed confidence that the tradition of compassion, solidarity, and focus on the homeland will continue to be maintained and strongly promoted within the Vietnamese community in Czech and abroad.
