Before a packed audience of students and community members, an elaborate lion dance performed to synchronized drumming resounded in the EMU Ballroom Saturday — just one of many traditions displayed at the Vietnamese Student Association’s culture night during “Vietnam: Through Our Lens.”
From songs and dances to the story of a postgraduate learning about the history of Vietnam, the annual VSA event exhibited different aspects of Vietnamese background and people. VSA also worked with the Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit grassroots agency focusing on stopping children trafficking in Vietnam. The night’s proceeds went toward funding the aid project.
