On November 15, the Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF) held its 10th Anniversary Ceremony. In addition to the achievements for the community over the past decade of this social charity fund, attendees were also impressed with the special welcoming art program.
The special feature of the program is that 12 art performances all have the equally professional participation of "child" artists from TH School.
After a decade of formation and development, the journey of the Fund for Vietnamese Stature is like an emotional symphony, woven from the sounds of compassion, understanding and love to create positive and sustainable changes for each destiny and each community.
From remote villages hidden in the mist, through flooded areas filled with pain, to noisy urban street corners where many lives are still difficult; from schools where ethnic minority students cross mountains and passes every day to nurture their simple dreams, to hospitals where children fight every day for life; through the days of standing side by side with the government and the community to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic...
10 years with the Fund are also years symbolizing solidarity and community strength. Every drop of sweat, every precious moment, every spiritual and material contribution from many organizations, businesses and individuals has been remembered and blended into the art program of the anniversary.
Opening the ceremony, the powerful Vietnamese drum performance by TH School high school students and the Dong Son Drum Band made a strong impression on the audience.
The images and imprints of the Fund's journey were integrated into a special art program with the theme "From understanding - Creating change". Under the direction of Music Director, Conductor Dong Quang Vinh, who is known as the "messenger" connecting Vietnamese and international music, the music party consists of 4 chapters - corresponding to the major action programs of the Fund for Vietnamese Stature. These are: School Health - Child Protection; Nurturing Talent - Action for the Environment; Women's Development and For Vietnamese Stature. The special highlight of this art program is the participation of many talented young artists studying at the TH School system.
Chapter I: School Health - Child Protection
"School Health" and "Child Protection" have always been two key and long-term programs of the Fund since its inception. This is also the greatest passion of Labor Hero Thai Huong - Founder of the Fund for Vietnamese Stature.

"Humans are the subjects of society, the resource that determines the development of the country. Investing in physical and mental development is developing the race of the nation, investing in sustainable development of national strategy".
Carrying on that mission, the Foundation for Vietnamese Stature has persistently implemented a series of projects aimed at children during its 10 years of operation. Hundreds of millions of glasses of school milk have been given, millions of nutritious meals have been deployed in schools, and hundreds of schools and school toilets have been built.
The projects also contribute to raising awareness and skills of the children themselves, their caregivers and other stakeholders to protect them from the risk of violence and abuse. A healthy environment, with maximum conditions for physical and intellectual development, is the long-term aspiration and goal of the Fund.
In chapter 1, through each melody and cheerful musical story, the Fund for Vietnamese Stature brings the audience to explore and feel the beautiful and colorful world through the lens of children, where the health and rights of children are always protected and cherished.

In Chapter II, the audience enjoyed melodies praising youth and life. These songs not only expressed the desire to contribute but also the voice and connection of the young generation, working together to realize pure and noble dreams.
Chapter III: Women's Development
Women and girls still face many challenges and inequalities in modern society, from the burden of housework, lack of opportunities for education and development, to gender-based violence.

Through the “Women’s Development” program, the For Vietnamese Stature Fund has continuously strived to improve the quality of life, while strengthening their voice and power. Nearly 17,000 women have received support from counseling and training programs on nutrition, mental health and reproductive health. Thousands of ethnic minority and disadvantaged women have improved their livelihoods thanks to grants or interest-free loans, along with training in production techniques and market development.

The annual "To Cam" media campaign - for a society without violence against women and girls, has spread strongly, inspiring change to millions of people.
To integrate these imprints into the Fund's activities, the Art Program leads the audience to melodies praising the strength and aspirations of women, who are contributing to changing the world every day.
