VTV.vn - 11-year-old Canadian girl, Capri Everitt, is travelling with her family to 80 countries to sing 80 anthems in 41 languages in an effort to raise $1 million for SOS Children’s Villages.

The young girl has arrived Danang as her 31st destination to perform the Vietnamese national anthem as part of her quest.

In a short clip featured on the website aroundtheworldin80anthems.com, the angel-hearted girl said she decided to act when she discovered that 18 million orphaned children face death, due to disease and malnutrition.

"I wanted to use my voice to help children get clean water and food," she said.

The idea of traveling to 80 countries was inspired by the classic novel Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne.

“But this is not just about visiting countries. This is about bringing children together through the common language of music,” her website aroundtheworldin80anthems.com explains.

Capri Everitt practices the Vietnamese national anthem song and will perform with Vietnamese children in the village on Friday and Saturday. Inspiring and humanitarian fundraiser Capri Everitt had a huge international impact.
