HÀ NỘI — A-list pop singer Tùng Dương and his friends made a donation of VNĐ500 million (US$20,000) to flood victims in the northern province of Thái Nguyên.

Dương sent the money to Việt Nam Fatherland Front in Thái Nguyên Province on September 10, supporting families of those killed by flooding and other people in need.

The singer cancelled his planned music video launch slated for September 12 in order to call for donations from his family and friends.

“My friends and I decided to send the money to Việt Nam Fatherland Front in Thái Nguyên Province, one of the northern provinces suffering from historic floods," Dương said.

"I'm not sure how much I can raise in funding over the next few days, but the most important thing is that we express our sympathy to those affected by the floods."

As of September 11, he has raised VNĐ140 million to support the flood-affected provinces of Cao Bằng, Lào Cai and Bắc Giang.

Dương will perform in a charity concert on September 15 at 7pm at Thiên Sơn Plaza, 89 Lê Đức Thọ Road, Hà Nội. Cash donations can be sent to account owner Trần Mai Anh, account number 3499 MBBank.

Admission to the concert is free. People can register by emailing nguyenquockhanhhh@gmail.com. — VNS
