Vespa Club helps raise funds for nation's ‘Heroic Mothers'

Members of the Sai Gon Vespa Club have kicked off a fund-raising tour across the country on Vespa scooters. The tour, to mark War Invalids and Martyrs' Day (July 27), seeks to raise public awareness of the sacrifice made by veterans and their mothers.

During their 2,000km tour, participants will help heroic mothers who lost husbands and children during the war and make a call for taking better care of them.-VNS
