Strength in Unity and Compassion

On 11 November 2025, at the Consulate General of Vietnam in Sydney, Professor Long Nghiem (VASEA President) and Ms. Ha Nguyen (Executive Board Member of ASIF – Australasia Social Impact Foundation) officially presented a symbolic donation of AUD 74,065.68 to support Vietnamese communities affected by recent floods. The ceremony was also attended by

H.E. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tung, Consul General of Vietnam in Sydney, and

H.E. Mr. Andrew Goledzinowski, former Australian Ambassador to Vietnam (2022–2024) and member of VASEA Advisory Board.

The entire donation amount, equivalent to over VND 1.25 billion, was transferred by ASIF to the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front on 12 November 2025. VASEA also settled the transaction fees with SupporterHub, the fundraising platform used for the “Love-to-Love” 2025 Campaign.

Our campaign received a total of approximately 100 contributions, including group donations from community organisations and many generous individual supporters across Australia and Singapore.

A sincere thank to everyone who contributed, especially to our partner organisations:

Western Australia Vietnamese Women’s Association (WAVNWA)

Western Australia Vietnam Business Council (WAVBC)

Australia Vietnam Talent Network (AVTN) in Perth

Vietnam–Australia Cultural Exchange Organisation (VACEO) in Sydney

We already sent a thank-you email to all donors, which included an anonymised list of contributions and a receipt confirming the fund transfer. Your generosity continues to highlight the power of solidarity and compassion across borders.
