EPVN was established in 2007 by parents who wanted to assist orphaned children in Vietnam and enhance the relationship between Vietnam and France. Its main goal is to improve the living conditions of children in orphanages and disadvantaged families in Vietnam through humanitarian aid, such as providing supplementary food or milk for infants, conducting vaccination campaigns, organizing medical activities, supplying hygiene products, and raising awareness in these areas.
Speaking at the gala, Vietnamese Ambassador to France Dinh Toan Thang expressed his appreciation for the work EPVN has done for Vietnamese children. He emphasized that the Vietnamese culture week in Versailles is an important and meaningful event, particularly as the countries celebrate the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations and the 10th anniversary of their strategic partnership.
Mayor of Versailles François de Mazières highlighted that the culture week has showcased the spirit of solidarity and creativity of the Vietnamese community in Versailles, contributing to strengthening the bond between the people of the two nations.
The highlights of the final night of the four-night program included a chorus performance of a selection of Vietnamese songs that depict the homeland by 12 French children, an exhibition of over 100 traditional costumes, scarves, and headwear representing the 54 ethnic groups of Vietnam, and a fashion show featuring Vietnamese traditional attire.
