Catholics and Buddhists in Vietnam s central provinces are passing on the kindness and generosity they received during last year’s floods by helping people affected by a stubborn outbreak of coronavirus in Ho Chi Minh City.
Catholic dioceses, communities, a Caritas unit and a Buddhist pagoda are extending all help possible, from cooked food, medical supplies, agricultural produce and voluntary donations to the southern city, formerly called Saigon.
An exhibition displaying “ao dai” owned by the 10 biggest contributors to the development of Vietnamese museums is taking place at the Ao dai Museum in Thu Duc City in Ho Chi Minh City. The exhibition is in celebration of International Museum Day 2021, which has the theme “The Future of Museums: Recover and Reimagine”.
