Recently I attended the Vietnamese Student's Association's annual charity dinner. The events aimed to raise money for Children's Hope in Action, which helps disadvantaged children and their families in the Quang Nam province in Vietnam. The event brought together Vietnamese students from universities across Sydney, to celebrate culture and connection and raise funds for an important cause. This year's event featured a variety of food, a fashion show, as well as traditional and contemporary Vietnamese dance performances. There was also a bake sale and raffle to support the fundraising efforts. Congratulations to the VSA Executive for making this event such a massive success. You have continued the tradition of ensuring that the VSA remains an important social and cultural connection point for students of Vietnamese heritage in our community. It was a delight to take part and I look forward to the continued success of our Vietnamese student community.
