A charity concert for Vietnamese orphans was held for the first time by the Meandres Humanitarian Association in Bussy-Saint-Georges, France on October 21.
Audiences were entertained with pieces of piano and opera music performed by Sebastien Ory, Jean-Phillipe Busquet and Janie Noele Helies.
Meandres Secretary General Catherine Cocoual-Labaune said since the association was established in 2007, Chairman Phan Son and other members have organized many activities to provide humanitarian support for Vietnam.
Opera vocalist Ory said he was deeply moved when singing at the concert, especially when he learnt that it could help many disadvantaged children.
Jean-Marie Dang, a French citizen whose husband is Vietnamese, said she is actively involved in humanitarian activities to help Agent Orange children and their families in Vietnam.
A photo exhibition on the association’s activities and the daily life of people in different parts of Vietnam, was also held on this occasion.
If the concert is successful, similar events will take place in some other cities in France.
