Welcome to FHV!
A very good point this year is the weather. In Viet Nam it’s irritatingly likely to rain when we are going around having fun with lanterns, but today is different. It did rain a little, but the weather soon cleared up, which means none of us got wet, even though we have been going nonstop. And there are good reasons why we kept on going even as rains seemed to be coming…
It took quite sometime to gather around at Youth Cultural Center, because there were so many of us. Apart from FHV members there were also volunteers from HOW, so it was a real crowd. From 5pm, our volunteers started to stick FHV logo onto their shirts and get to know each other (by the way, FHV T-shirts are coming real soon). Dozens of carton boxes were prepared, ready to carry presents to unlucky children near the center of Ho Chi Minh city. Around 100 people were divided into two groups, starting from Youth Cultural Center to various spots such as the Municipal Theater, Turtle Lake, Notre Dame Cathedral, Bến Thành Market. Throughout the trip, we pay special attention to children that we were passing by…
Group 1 headed from Youth Cultural Center towards Notre Dame Cathedral. Group 2 headed from Youth Cultural Center towards Turtle Lake. We each learnt different lessons on the way…
Here are some pictures from our photographers:
They seem to like our shiny moon :)
Hello, please get in line we are going to have some fun
So cute!!
Foreigners just love lanterns
Candles! So romantic!!
The goal is to give them something to enjoy in this special day for children
We also gave out gifts to older people who may share them with their children, or even grandchildren
Some people were shocked when they receive the gifts
Fun moments
So cute!!
Many thanks to HOW volunteers
