‘Help-portrait’ program brings joy to disadvantaged people
More than 1,200 photographers and volunteers have participated in the eighth edition of "Help-portrait" program held recently in 15 provinces and cities and Tho Chu Island with the purpose of bringing joy to child cancer patients and disadvantaged people.
In addition to major activities of the programme, voluntary groups took many photos of local people living in remote areas at any appropriate time and gift them their photographed photos.
This year’s program aims to preserve and present 10,000 photos to pediatric cancer children, lonely old people and especially difficult people. These photos were taken at more than 60 nationwide places such as hospitals, charity houses and centres for children with disabilities.
At Christmas parties to be held during the programme, disadvantaged children will receive gifts donated by benefactors.
After the eight-year duration of the programme, 50,000 photos have been taken as a small contribution to alleviating difficulties for children and people with special difficult circumstances.
