(VOVWORLD) - Overseas Vietnamese people have made 400 glutinous rice cakes to raise funds for flood victims in central Vietnam . The program was hosted by Vietnamese living and working in the city of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada.
Overseas Vietnamese people in Vancouver gathered to make Tet cakes.
Each person is involved in a stage of the cake making process.
Volunteers spent their weekend cooking the cakes. 400 Tet cakes (glutinous rice cakes) were completed in just 3 days.
Ingredients to make the cakes were carefully prepared.
They also make Vietnamese traditional braised fish and other cakes to raise funds.
After just 2 weeks of launching, total proceeds reached 8,680 Canadian dollars. The money will be sent to Vietnam to aid those suffering from historic flooding in Quang Tri province.
