The Sea Homeland Calls event, held on the evening of December 28 at the Hoa Binh Theater, aims to raise funds to help disadvantaged students and the poor in Khanh Hoa province.

Always proud of the beautiful coastal homeland

In a slow voice, he told about his volunteer journey.

"When I received my salary as chairman while working in a hotel in Khanh Hoa, instead of taking him to see the beach, I took Ms. Thuy Tien (now his wife) to the emergency room of Khanh Hoa Hospital. Every time I got my salary, I often came here and asked which doctor needed help so I could help.

There was one case I will never forget. That night, a family from Buon Ma Thuot brought a patient to the hospital for emergency treatment. The doctor there told the ambulance to take the patient straight to Cho Ray Hospital to save him.

I agreed to help immediately. A month later, the father came to thank me for saving his son.

Since then, I have focused on charity work. Now I am 73 years old, retired, and have given her everything so I can do charity work," he said happily.

Mr. Jonathan Hanh Nguyen said he was moved because he did not expect the Khanh Hoa - Ho Chi Minh City Business Club to organize such a humanitarian program.

"I am a son of Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa. Wherever I go in the world , I always think of my homeland and my compatriots. I would like to contribute another 3 billion VND so that the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Khanh Hoa province can quickly help people in need. Please take care of me, Chairman," he said.

During the auction of agarwood items to raise funds, Mr. Jonathan Hanh Nguyen continued to buy items for 1.79 billion VND and wished to donate them to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee.

In response to Mr. Jonathan Hanh Nguyen's sincerity, Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Phan Van Mai thanked him and suggested that this item continue to be auctioned to raise more money to help those in difficult circumstances.
