THANK YOU FOR THE HEARTS OF GOLD: IN TWO DAYS THE CHARITY CLUB “WARM WITH LOVE” HAS GIVEN A TON OF RICE TO THE POOR
On the afternoon of April 09-10, 2020 at PhoDong Village Urban Gate, the Charity Club “Warm with love” gave the poor 200 portions of rice (equivalent to one ton of rice) to help the difficulties and encourage the circumstances to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic.
Preparatory work for rice distribution
It can be said that 2020 is an unforgettable year for all mankind in the world. The current Covid-19 pandemic has swept 209 countries and territories with a total of 1.5 million cases, including more than 88,000 deaths and pushed more than 500 million people into poverty. These numbers keep increasing every day, spreading mourning, leaving catastrophic consequences in many territories.
In Vietnam, a country is still developing, where the lives of most of people still depend on working day by day, facing up with the Covid-19 pandemic made thousands of workers even more miserable. Difficulties piled up with the wandering life, the people selling lottery tickets, street vendors, handicapped people, the elderly and poor laborers…
Promoting the beautiful traditional culture of the solidarity spirit, “The leaves protect tattered ones”, the Charity Club “Warm with love” mobilized donations from kind hearts to join hands with the whole country to help the poor to overcome a pandemic.

On the afternoon of April 9, 2020, 100 portions of 5kg rice were given to the poor. And the next 100 ones were given on the next day, the afternoon of April 10. Hopefully, with 200 portions, equivalent to a ton of rice, will partly share with the poor, encourage them to firmly overcome difficulties.
Portions of rice are prepared to help and support the poor against the pandemic
During two days, the club representatives were moved when they witnessed many pitiful situations like the old woman K.T. Dien, the elder B.T. Ba.,…
The old woman K.T. Dien, 61 years old, hometown in Hau Giang Province, moved to Ho Chi Minh City and rents a rickety house of less than 15 square meters with six people. For the past two years, because of diabetes and kidney stones, she can only be at home with three grandchildren, and all the family’s activities depend on her son as a bricklayer and her daughter-in-law as a dish-washer. But because of the pandemic, son and daughter-in-law became unemployed, and now the family is struggling with hunger. She just hopes the disease will pass soon so that her children can go to work to earn money to support their lives.

And Mrs. B.T. Ba, 75 years old, in order to get to the point of rice distribution, she had to ask a neighborhood as a motorbike taxi to hitchhike, due to the lonely poverty family, her four children have to earn one’s livings, now only she with her husband are left. Every day, her husband went to sell lottery tickets, with unstable income for each lottery ticket sold, she had heart disease and could not work badly, just praying for a remission to save medicine costs. Recently, because of disease prevention, according to the order to stop selling lottery tickets, they were in misery, and thanks to the sponsors, she went to beg for rice to earn a living. She said: “Today I received 5kg of rice, enough for the two of them to eat within a few weeks …” She thanked the hearts of gold for caring and helping the disadvantaged like her.
