The Dec 27 charity gift wrapping session by Dong A University students and staff in Da Nang City set a Vietnam Record Organization (VietKings) record  for the largest number of wrappers who performed the task in the shortest of time.

In the program, titled “Gifts of love”, the 1,720 gifts donated by the school’s staff and students were wrapped by 2,000 people in five minutes.

After being wrapped, the gifts, which include school stationery, cookies, toothpaste and soap, handmade items and souvenirs, will be handed out to local needy kids.

The students also participated in a 15-minute competition to create handmade presents for the kids, who are being tended to at SOS Children’s Villages, Street children Protection Center, Quan Chau Pagoda and Da Nang Pediatrics – Obstetrics Hospital, so that they will enjoy a cheerful Tet.
