VTV.vn - An exhibition, “Empathy – the Untold Stories”, featuring 50 photos by renowned photographer Le Hong Linh will be held at the HCMC Youth Cultural House on November 14 to raise funds for poor children.

All proceeds from the exhibition will be donated to the Dream Library, a community-based project whose main goal is to build a free, innovative library chain for disadvantaged children. Up to now, the project has built 36 libraries in nine southern cities and provinces.

Fifty photos taken by Linh, some of which have won international awards, while others have never been published, will be put up for auction at the exhibition. The organizers will also offer 1,000 photo books at VND500,000 each.

Le Hong Linh began his artistic photography career in 1990. He is a member of the Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists, the International Federation of Photographic Art, the Photographic Society of America and the Asia Photographers Union.

His works have been showcased at exhibitions and photography museums in many countries around the world such as the United States, Spain, Singapore, Austria, Japan and India.
