Under project of constructing 2,500 charity houses sponsored by Central Association for Vietnamese Youths, Binh Duong Province’s youths are contributing every brick to construct houses that warm other people’s hearts.
Over 70 kilometers from Thu Dau Mot Town, we arrived at Dau Tieng District to attend a meeting to hand over 5 charity houses to local people in communes of An Lap, Long Tan, Dinh Hiep, Long Hoa, and Dau Tieng Town. The youths have contributed addtitional VND 75 million to VND 200 million sponsored by donations. The amount has supported construction of 5 charity houses in the locality.

The first house was offered to family of Mr. Dang Thanh Trung, residing at Dau Tieng Town. We had to go through narrow and full of twist and turns deep down into Hamlet No. 5. They received us with smiles on their faces. Previously, Mr. Dang Minh Trung joined the army services before retiring as a builder; however, his degrading health lays more burden on her wife who is working as a post deliver. Their monthly income can not support two children; therefore, Provincial Association of Youths has helped them to construct a house as a spiritual gift to improve their live hood.
Leaving Hamlet No. 5 in Dau Tieng Town, we arrived at Dinh Phuoc Hamlet, Dinh Hiep Commune to meet up with family of Mrs. Tran Thi Thanh Tuoi who was once energetic and active Youth League member. She quit her activities in Youth League to face up with poverty. Her daily life is dependent on pancake selling in makeshift home. Upon receiving her new home, she was moved to tears.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Le Thi Hanh residing at Tan Phong Hamlet, Long Hoa Commune is now supported by a new charity home as a single parent with two children. Or like the case of Mrs. Truong Hong Xuan residing at Binh Hoa Zone, Tan Phuoc Khanh Town, the association has supported a 38.2 square-meter charity house which will promote them in life.
On our way returning from Dau Tieng, we interviewed Mr. Do Ngoc Huy, Youth League Deputy Secretary informed that they have handed over 32 houses out of 2,500 houses as projected by the plan.
