A text-message based charity prog-ramme supporting the nation's poor would be launched at the beginning of next year, said Chairman of the Viet Nam Red Cross Tran Ngoc Tang at a press conference yesterday. "The 12-month prog-ramme aims to mobilise community financial support to buy and donate 1,000 cows to the 1,000 poorest households in the 62 most disadvantaged districts of Vietnam," said Tang.
