Hailing from Israel, Michael Parkinski used to participate in repatriation flights, bringing overseas Vietnamese back home from the first months when the Covid-19 broke out. His experience of flying over a world on lockdown, gave him a bird's eye view of the adverse impacts of the pandemic. Immediately after learning about the establishment of Vietnam’s Covid-19 vaccine fund, Michael donated without hesitation and called for contributions from friends and colleagues, VnExpress reported.

He said “Vaccine is the only and best way to soon curb the pandemic. Every small action will create a miracle for one bright day when the majority of the population in Vietnam in particular and the world in general are vaccinated against Covid-19.”

Erwin Molinyawe Aniban, Michael's colleague, also supported Vietnam’s Covid-19 vaccine fund. He believes that with assistance from all ages and classes, Vietnam would soon carry out mass inoculation.

Having lived and worked in Vietnam for a long time, Nikolay Raspopov, the Russian captain, sympathizes with medical workers over their hardships during the fight against the pandemic. He agreed that immunization was a safe and urgent measure to drive back the pandemic. That is the reason why he contributed to Vietnam’s Covid-19 vaccine fund.

Elmin Qurban Guliyev, an Azerbaijani pilot, who has lived and worked in Vietnam for more than two years, said the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in deaths, job loss and separation of many families, including his family.

“I donated to the vaccine fund because I love Vietnam and want to contribute a small part to the country’s efforts in preventing and controlling the pandemic,” Elmin said.

Elmin said he was proud to receive the certificate for the contribution which he uses to call for more people to assist the fund.
