A Vietnamese heart towards homeland

Loewall Uyen Nhu, an Overseas Vietnamese (OV) residing in Australia, has donated nearly VND50 million to the Vietnam Coast Guard Force that are protecting national sea and island sovereignty.

Uyen Nhu, 74 years of age, is one of the millions of dedicated expatriates who have risen to the occasion and are actively supporting the country in the cause of national construction and defence.

She expressed her strong objection to China’s illegal deployment of Haiyang Shiyou-981 rig inside Vietnam’s Exclusive Economic Zone, and said that as a long-standing neighbour with Vietnam, China has turned its back on the sentiment and moral tradition of the two nations.

 

She said she hopes that the issue will be settled soon.

Earlier, Nhu donated AUD1,000 to Truong Sa (Spartly) soldiers on the occasion of the traditional Lunar New Year festival and AUD2,000 to northern border guards.

She has actively raised funds for the poor and women in Vietnamese localities, including building a kindergarten in Bac Giang province.
