1,200 Familes Helped

  HUONG NGUYEN & HUONG CHU COMMUNES                     
                                      VIETNAM
During the past couple of days, the distribution of 400 washable face masks and 200 bottles of hand sanitizer to Huong Nguyen and Huong Chu Communes brought the number of families that we have helped during the covid-19 situation to 1,200. You, the donors, supplied the funding and Khanh, Chairman of Hearts for Hue, coordinated production & delivery. Mr. Tuyen, the regional Red Cross representative, as well as commune leaders, assisted in distribution. I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Tuyen in the past and find his knowledge essential to the success of our humanitarian endeavors throughout rural villages in his area. But, it is Khanh who brings it all together. Everything that we've accomplished from 2015 to present in the Hue area is in partnership with Hearts for Hue under the leadership of Khanh, my trusted friend. 

 Nothing would get off the ground without the support & generosity of donors like you, whose contributions are the foundation for all that we do. Thank you.

Neil
Mr. Khanh (Hearts for Hue) & Mr. Tuyen (Red Cross)

March 8- Dung Family's New House

Well, I am pleased to report that Mrs. Dung and her three children, a boy of 12 and twin girls aged 3,  now have a completely renovated house. The cost of $1,200 USD, provided by you, helped make it happen. A group from the United Kingdom chipped in to help, as well.  As a refresher, here are before and after photos:                                                                           BEFORE                                                           ...

Masks & Hand Sanitizers March 30, 2020

Your contributions continue to work wonders for impoverished & disabled rural villagers in Vietnam. The wheels are turning. Per Khanh of Hearts for Hue :     As you know that with a new law: if anyone go to market/ public areas without a face mask, he/she will be fined 200.000dvn (8.6USD). Therefore, we will try our best to deliver facemask and hand sanitizers as soon as we can. Khanh had been working with two companies to produce and supply washable (reusable) face masks and hand sanitizer for distribution to rural villages near Hue. On March 25 I inquired as to the status of his Covid:19 containment program. It was obvious from his response that immediate action was required. So, that same day $1,000 was transferred to Khanh. With those funds, 300 families in Phu Gia Commune, including our friends Ms. Hanh, Mr. Duong, and Mr. Vac, could be provided masks and sanitizer. Knowing Khanh's situation in his quest to help many villages, I transferred anothe...

Beyond the 70 families last week, food was just yesterday distributed to 70 more families in Thuy Phu Fishing Village, Huong Van Village, and Hue. Again, each was very grateful to receive a 10 kg (22#) bag of rice, a case of noodles, and a bottle of fish sauce. Thanks to all who, through generous donations, have supported this much-needed food relief program in Vietnam. We'll keep at it as long as possible. A big "thank you" to Khanh of Hearts for Hue   f or his highly-efficient coordination of this critical humanitarian endeavor.  Appreciation is also extended to Mr. Thuyen of the Red Cross, who helped to identify those families most in need. We're on a roll, folks, and it would be great to keep on rolling. Photos and a list of recipients attached.  By the way, Katie, Kira, and I visited Thuy Phu fishing community in 2018. These villagers live on the small boats all year long...pretty amazing. They're very poor, but happy. I make a point to ...
