Tuesday was a busy day for Khanh, Chairman of Hearts for Hue. From morning to evening, this humanitarian worked hard in an effort of delivery the masks and sanitizers that your donations provided. With a new government isolation directive to become effective April 1, time was of the essence. When the dust settled, all but one village had been covered.  According to Khanh, the following is how delivery worked out: Phu Gia                             600 masks/300 sanitizers Quang Phuoc                    400 masks/200 sanitizers Quang Phu                        400 masks/200 sanitizers Huong Xuan                     400 masks/200 sanitizers Huong Nguyen                 400 masks/200 sanitizers (not completed) Hue & Neil Friends          200 masks/100 sanitizers On April 15, when the current government directive expires, delivery will be made to Huong Nguyen. Vietnam, sharing an 870-mile border with China, must be very decisive and diligent in its efforts for containment.
