How the Czech Republic's Vietnamese community is rallying for refugees
“When the war broke out, we thought we had to do something,” remembers Nga Dao of Lam Cha Me, a Vietnamese community association in Prague, the Czech capital.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24 sparked spontaneous community activity across central Europe, to where almost four million million Ukrainian refugees have now fled.
For the Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic, who make up around one percent of the population, it was no different.
“We contacted a few other organizations to ask if we could help with some things,” Nga Dao explains. After collecting a truckload of clothes for children and women, donated by the Vietnamese community, they drove it to the collection point but were told it was not accepting any more donations.
