With the purpose of collecting funds for our projects in Vietnam, Tim went to Europe where charity events were organized for Maison Chance at the end of October.
She flew to London with her three companions: the famous MC-actor-singer Quy Binh, the singer Lam Ngoc Hoa and the singer Bang Cuong. The flight company Vietnam Airlines generously financed an important part of the travelling costs, which alleviated considerably our expenses.

Finally on October 24th, a last event was organized nearby the Thames in the famous New Saigon restaurant (Linh Nhung), the first Vietnamese restaurant established in London.

This trip enabled to gather more than $50.000. Maison Chance is very grateful to the different organizers of this tour and to all the donors as each contribution leads us a bit closer to the opening of the new social center in Dak Nong.
