This event was part of the annual festival launched by Zurich to bid farewell to winter, which was suspended in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Ms. Ngoc Dung Moser, Principal of Binh Minh School, 39 children of the school aged from 5 to 13 participated in the event.
Apart from Vietnamese language teaching, Binh Minh School has organized traditional festivals and community activities to help Vietnamese children understand more about their origin.
Ms. Ngoc Dung Moser, Principal of the school, who is also General Secretary of the Vietnamese Association in Switzerland and member of the executive board of the Switzerland-Vietnam Friendship Association, said the two associations have coordinated to support Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange (AO)/dioxin and bombs and mines, lepers and underprivileged children.
Established in 2017, Binh Minh School has been opened for children of the Vietnamese origin in Zurich and its neighboring areas every Saturday morning./.
