In order to help the underprivileged to have a joyful and fulfilling Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday, Vietjet has offered gift sets to 500 families of ethnic minorities, including 102 gift sets and warm clothes to children and teachers at Ban Kha kindergarten and elementary school in Sin Cheng commune.
The charity program has attracted many participants with various activities such as making traditional round glutinous rice cake, zero-Dong fair and exciting folk games. Around 500 people also had their health checked by doctors from Vietnam – Soviet Friendship Hospital in Hanoi and received medicines, all for free, during the program.
