NDO – The Youth Union of Centrally-run Agencies Bloc launched a fundraising event on July 19 to commemorate revolutionary contributors and the 74th anniversary of the Wounded and Fallen Soldiers Day (July 27, 1947-2021).

Accordingly, youth union members of the centrally-run agencies can make donations to the event via the Vietnamese mobile wallet app MoMo.

The money will be used to purchase candles for the candle-lit ceremonies to be held on the evening of July 26 at martyrs' cemeteries across the country in remembrance of fallen soldiers who gave their lives for the nation’s independence and freedom.

The funds raised from the event will also support the construction and renovation of social houses for national contributors.

On the occasion, the Youth Union of Centrally-run Agencies Bloc also encouraged its members to post candle light photos on their personal Facebook pages at 19:00 on July 17 to commemorate fallen soldiers and promote the Vietnamese people’s tradition of expressing gratitude to those who have laid down their lives for the sake of the country.
