A choir composed of under-privileged children studying at the Thang Long Vocational School will be performing in city hotels and restaurants from now until Christmas Eve.
Performance venues include the New World Hotel, the Caravelle Hotel, the Park Hyatt Sai Gon Hotel, the Sheraton Sai Gon Hotel, the Parkland Country Club and Gloria Jeans Coffee.
Jingle Bells, Feliz Navidad, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and Winter Wonderland are just some of the carols that are adding to Christmas cheer in some of the city’s most luxurious venues.
The Thang Long Vocational School operates under the auspices of Sai Gon Children’s Charity, a non-governmental organization that provides scholarships and job placement and assists in building schools.
The choir, in return for vocational training that it receives year-round, accepts no payments for its performances.
An extra show is scheduled on December 27, 2008.
