Major Mask & Sanitizer Distribution April 1

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.



Here is an informative article just published by Khanh regarding this distribution program.

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 ...
