Red Cross Association grants aid to disavantaged people
Ha Noi, Feb. 8 (VNA)-- The Viet Nam Red Cross (VNRC) has granted VND 100 million (roughly USD 7,000) to disadvantaged people in remote areas of the four central highlands provinces.
Gia Lai and Dac Lac provinces received VND 30 million each while Kon Tum and Lam Dong provinces, VND 20 million each, to help local ethnic minority people in reducing poverty.
The VNRC has also delivered 120 tonnes of processed rice worth USD 20,000 as relief aid from Mrs Julie Nguyen Brown, President of the U.S. company Plastech Michigan, to flood victims.
Seventy tonnes of rice went to Dong Thap province and 50 tonnes to Long An province, both hardest hit by floods late last year.--VNA
