WELCOME TO HEARTS FOR HUE’S APRIL 2020 NEWSLETTER

Dear Donors, Colleagues, and Friends,

First of all, Hearts For Hue would like to send our warmest greetings and best wishes to all of you and express our sincere thanks for your support of disadvantaged people in Vietnam. We would like to share with you an overview of what our organization was doing from March to April  2020.  Please take a look at our project highlights below:

Great  support for marginalized communities in Hue

In addition to the bad effects of Covid 19 pandemic, the farmers are now at high risk of loss of crops due to the larged and prolonged rain. The heavy rains lasted for 3 consecutive days have exerted damage of the rice paddy field in Hue outskirt areas. Particularly, thousands of hectares of rice filed have fallen down and flooded in Phu Gia and Phu Luong Commune.  The harvesting cost of paddy is now twice than usual. All the farmers’ efforts have been in vain. A farmer shared that: “ The only solution, for now, is selling a whole rice paddy field to feed flocks of ducks with the lowest price”. Obviously, the residents in Phu Luong commune have been facing an extremely high risk of losing their jobs and lacking of capital to re – produce. See more

A tablet for each family

At Ngày mai Scholarships children from disadvantaged families are our priority. We like to visit the children participating in our Program and to ask them to find out what they would like to have or what do they need. They demand books, bicycles, football balls and many other things. And whenever there is enough money in our accounts, we try to satisfy their wishes. Months ago, Binh, one of the many bright children participating at Ngày mai Scholarships, told us that he wanted a PC. It is true that we needed to ask him three times what did he really want before he came back with such an amazing reply. See more

 

Once again, Hearts For Hue would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the donors for their great concern for the less fortunate people of our community. We hope that the cooperation between the donors and Hearts for Hue will grow even closer and more sustainable in the future. We wish you and your family good health, happiness, and prosperity.
