Vietnamese actress and former Miss Vietnam Ngoc Hân is lending her support to a special 15-hour livestream event aimed at raising funds for children battling cancer. The event, named "Giving Sunflowers Strength," is scheduled to take place on June 14.

There are so many reasons to accept the invitation to participate in this special livestream immediately.

— Ngoc HânNgoc Hân explained her motivation for joining the fundraising event.

Hân, who has a history of supporting cancer patient programs, expressed her immediate willingness to join the livestream. She highlighted its dual benefit: offering consumers good products at attractive prices while channeling a portion of sales to support underprivileged children with cancer. The initiative is organized by Tuoi Tre newspaper in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union and the Ministry of Industry and Trade's E-commerce and Digital Economy Department.

Both practical for consumers (good products, good prices) and beautifully humane, with sales revenue used to support children with difficult circumstances.

This livestream is the first of its kind for the "Dreams of Thuy" program, initiated by Tuoi Tre newspaper, to raise money for cancer-stricken children. Ten percent of the revenue generated will be donated to the program. Hân shared her personal connection to the cause, revealing that a family member is currently undergoing cancer treatment. Witnessing the struggles of patients in waiting rooms and hearing stories of those fighting the disease alone deeply moved her.

It wasn't easy for my parents and my brother to move. Although words should be what I master, I will never be able to express my gratitude to you for doing that for me. You are the reason I am here tonight.

She recalled visiting children undergoing treatment at the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion and the K Hospital in Hanoi. Hân noted that even during treatment, the children displayed remarkable resilience and positivity, often bringing drawing materials and homework. She found their bright smiles particularly memorable, contrasting with the expected sadness or worry. Hân believes that every purchase, like, or share during the livestream contributes to offering hope to these young patients.

When I say songwriting is the easiest part, I mean it's instinctual. Nobody taught me how to do it.
