During the program, the Thai community, along with representatives from organizations, agencies and businesses, participated in various activities, including a cycling parade to promote blood donation and the actual blood donation campaign.
Speaking at the event, Ms. Wiraka Moodhitaporn, Consul General of Thailand to Ho Chi Minh City, highlighted that this program benefits society, the community, and the nation by providing an opportunity for the Thai community in Ho Chi Minh City to engage in meaningful acts of kindness.

By the end of the program, organizers collected more than 100 units of blood to support medical treatments at local hospitals./.
