Giao-Diem Humanitarian Foundation would like to
express our sincere appreciation to everyone who participated in our Nov. 2006
fundraiser: "An Evening of Love and Compassion". The event was well
attended by our friends, supporters and the general public. Fourteen thousand dollars were collected through ticket sales and donations,
making this evening one of our most successful events.
A large portion of the funds were allocated to assist the victims of typhoon
Xangsane which ravaged the Central Coast of Vietnam in October 2006.
