Moon-watching festival in border villages

Located in the Vietnam - Laos border area, Phu Lam village (Phu Gia commune, Huong Khe) is more than 12 km from the commune center. In recent years, the Mid-Autumn Festival for the children in the village has simply been a small party with some candies and local snacks. The dream of a full moon festival or games and watching art performances is a distant dream for them.

However, this year, children here have enjoyed a bustling, colorful, joyful and meaningful Mid-Autumn Festival.

Phu Lam village children eagerly participate in the program "Moon of Love".

Phan Thi Sao Mai (grade 2, Phu Gia Primary School) excitedly said: “Before, I only saw the brilliant Mid-Autumn Festival program on TV. Today, I am very happy to see with my own eyes the performance of Hang and Cuoi, the lion dance, and the feast. We also received scholarships and meaningful gifts.”

Mr. Tran Xuan Vu - Owner of Bui Cafe (Ha Tinh City), representative of the organizing and sponsoring units said: "Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of family reunion, a festival for parents and relatives to care for their children. However, for many children in remote areas, life is still difficult and deprived, they often suffer disadvantages. Therefore, we want to bring poor children in Phu Lam village a warm and meaningful atmosphere, helping them have beautiful memories of their childhood and Mid-Autumn Festival...".
