From the organizer:

Dear friends,

The second “social distance” has ended, but we still should not be subjective, activities or social contacts should still be limited.

But if you do not go out much, what will you do?
Are you interested in participating in an interesting event that evokes imagination, creativity, humor and optimism to help you and your loved ones overcome this difficult time?

UNICEF Viet Nam and the Ministry of Health invite you to participate in a painting /sketching /illustration event with the theme “Kindness is Contagious” on Instagram and Facebook. This is an activity in the “Kindness is Contagious” media campaign to build solidarity, mutual love among young Vietnamese people during and after COVID-19.

In addition to TikTok, WHO and UNESCO, Vietnamese young artists such as singer Min, Ngot (music band), rapper Suboi, illustrator Tamypu, fashionista Chau Bui, actor Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc and Nha Nam Publishing House join together support this campaign.

Pests can spread, but kindness needs to spread faster!
May COVID -19 end soon and we learn to love each other more!

Please come and join with us!!!

There are two ways to participate:

I. Option 1:
You paint, or sketch about a small act of kindness, helping each other in and (possibly) after COVID-19 then sharing them on your Instagram and Facebook accounts with the hashtag #long_tot_de_lay and calling your friends to join with. Do not forget this hashtag!

The organizers (UNICEF and the Ministry of Health) will select works with this hashtag #long_tot_de_lay to post on the Instagram and Facebook pages of UNICEF and the Ministry of Health.
