To support the initiative of the city on limiting usage of single-use plastic products, the Consular Club encourages stalls to use environmentally friendly alternative products and participants will be encouraged to buy fabric bags sold at the fair or to bring existing bags from home.
Coming to the fair, visitors not only have the opportunity to purchase unique products and enjoy exquisite cuisine, but also immerse themselves in music festivals with traditional dances from India, Indonesia and Thailand; melodious jazz melody from the UK and Thai boxing.
All proceeds from the fair are used to support charity projects.
With a fund of 70,000 USD from the 2018 charity fair, the Consular Club has supported 10 projects, such as early intervention education program for autistic children, granting scholarships for children and youth; free photo restoration program for low-income people; construction of clean water tanks and the necessary improvement of housing for women./.
