The fundraising program will continue in the coming days. In addition, Vietnamese associations in Hungary, Romania and Poland are also launching programs to support people in localities severely affected by storm No. 3. In related developments, responding to the call of General Secretary and President To Lam and the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, the Vietnamese Embassy in the Czech Republic and Hungary has called on each embassy staff member to donate to support people suffering from the consequences of storm No. 3.

In the context that people in many provinces and cities are struggling to cope with the consequences and heavy losses in human lives and property, embassies of various countries immediately organized financial donations, demonstrating the Vietnamese tradition of "the whole leaves cover the torn leaves, the less torn leaves cover the more torn leaves", contributing to joining hands with the Party and State to support and restore production and people's lives. On the same day (September 12), the Association of Vietnamese people in the Czech Republic also organized a meeting and exchange ceremony with the Vietnam national women's football team. At the ceremony, delegates observed a minute of silence for those who died due to storms and floods in Vietnam. Speaking at the welcoming ceremony of the Vietnam national women's team, Ambassador Duong Hoai Nam recalled the outstanding achievements of the national women's football team in recent times, contributing to affirming and enhancing the position of Vietnam in the process of international integration. The Ambassador believes that the training trip to the Czech Republic will create a new momentum for the team to achieve higher results in major tournaments next year. Some photos at the program:
