Long, who has gone to Dong Van 40 times in the last 15 years, has deep sympathy for the poor ethnic people here, especially children, and wants to help ease their hardships. His photos displayed at the exhibition will be auctioned to raise funds to build a dormitory for 200 students of a lower secondary school in Lung Cu, Dong Van, and improve the meals for poor children in the karst plateau.
A photographer with 30 years of experience, Long has won more than 100 national and international awards and medals.
Tran Cao Bao Long has joined with friends in charity exhibitions, including “Anh Sang Tu Tam” (Light of Kindness) and “Vietnam-Nui rung bien ca” (Vietnam- Mountains and Oceans), to raise funds to build schools in Ha Giang and help poor children who need medical care.
“Nha em o duoi do” (My home is down there). |
“The photos by Long and other photographers at the exhibition are historical records, which will stay with the nation throughout its history and development.”
Le Xuan Thang, Vice Chairman of Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists (VAPA)
