Two Vietnamese children have donated 20,000 medical masks to the UK.

Truong Thi Linh Nhan and Truong Cao Khoi used their “lucky money” to donate medical masks to help the UK tackle Covid-19.

The masks were sent to the UK successfully by the British Embassy in Hanoi last week on a commercial flight which repatriated 100 British nationals.

Two kids in Hanoi recently gifted 20K medical masks to ??, using the “lucky money" that they've saved up for a few years. These masks have been sent to ?? successfully on our special commercial flight last week. Many thanks Nhan & Khoi! You can read Amb. @GarethWardUK's letter ? pic.twitter.com/02s3VIZ4lv

The embassy tweeted a written response from Gareth Ward, British Ambassador to Vietnam, along with a picture of the two children near Tower Bridge in London.

Fight Virus

He wrote: “I am glad that you, who are at very young ages, care about the world and have contributed to the fight against the virus.

“I believe that your gift is really meaningful to doctors, nurses and healthcare workers in the UK, who are working around the clock to fight against the virus and save people’s lives.”

Lucky money is a Vietnamese tradition which sees children given money in a red envelope for the Lunar New Year, as a symbol of good luck and hope.

He said: “If everyone plays a part in this fight, I believe that we can overcome this pandemic.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
