Gentle Fund Organization (GFO), founded in 2006 and officially registered in 
both Singapore & Vietnam as a non-profit, non-governmental society organization, 
has been actively supporting underprivileged children in Vietnam on the 
educational front. One of our key projects in Vietnam aims at constructing a 
series of 6 learning centers across the country, each of which consists of a 
library and classrooms for the underprivileged children at various communities. 
On 28th September 2008, with the help of Singapore Exchange (SGX) and 
Development Bank of Singapore (DBS), we have opened the first learning center at 
Long Hoa orphanage, Ho Chi Minh City.

On this coming 10th January 2009, GFO has gathered a number of our supporters 
who are renown Vietnamese and international artists for a charity concert named 
"Living the dream". We will celebrate with the children, sing about the wonder 
of living one's dream and most importantly, raise of S$35,000 to sustain the 
operation of GFO Learning Center-Long Hoa for one year.
