FHF's annual Afternoon of Literary Arts was a unique event, one of a very few rare occasions, where all noted poets, musicians and writers gathered to exhibit a series of performances that are thought-provoking, heart-wrenching and side-splitting in turns. The event is held annually to raise awareness and funds for programs in Vietnam aimed at assisting impoverished people and victims of natural disasters in Thua Thien Hue province of Central Vietnam.
