The program showed artists supporting frontline pandemic forces and assisting people affected by coronavirus in Ho Chi Minh city, and shared touching stories about medical staff and military medical forces fighting for the lives of COVID-19 patients.
AVSE Global, which has raised tens of millions of dollars in aid from the US, the UK, France, and other countries, used this art program to call for more donations to fly the medical supplies it has received from donors to Vietnam.
