According to Amorepacific, the 45-seat “Happy Bus” that will be used to facilitate local transportation was delivered at the end of last year.

As for the maintenance fee provided Wednesday, it is to go to medical devices for the treatment of cataracts that the company donated in 2013, it explained.

Amorepacific’s division head Min said the company hopes the aids delivered to Quy Nhon are enjoyed by all citizens, adding that the firm will continue its social contributions across Vietnam.
