Looking at his small and degraded house, Mr. Pham Minh Sang, residing at Lai Thieu Ward in Thuan An Town, only wished to have a new house to shelter his family from the weather. And, it was a miracle to him as the Emulation Hub No. 8 of Dong Nam Bo Red Cross handed 3 charity houses of the society to the poor in Thuan An Town and Di An Town. Sang was included in the list of receiving charity houses.

Thao The seasonal rain came and the makeshift shelter of family of Mr. Pham Minh Sang in Lai Thieu Ward of Thuan An Town clattered.In the slumdog, Mr. Pham Minh Sang said: “We have been trying to make end meet but lacks everything.”It seemed that the income from his manual work as a cargo loader and his spouse’s as a house cleaner was not enough to take care of the family. Sang told us that life was challenging and he had to build the humble shelter on the land of his mother-in-law to get through days.The circumstance of Mr. Vo Van Hao and Nguyen Thi Le Chau as one family at Thang Loi 1 Quarter of Di An Ward, Di An Town was too hard for them. They got bankcrupted by being too entrusting to business partners. All the properties were gone to compensate the debts, leaving them with yearning wish to own a true house. That was a dream beyond their reach not until the Emulation Hub No. 8 of Dong Nam Bo Red Cross donated VND 75 million and called for donation from Mr. Huynh Van Rang at VND 30 million to build a charity house for him.The rain got heavier and heavier but it failed to worry families of Sang and Chau as their dreams were within their reach and would become true in the future.Mrs. Tran Thi Lien, Chair of Provincial Red Cross informed that giving the poor shelters is one of the measures to encourage them to get up in life. Thus, all-level red cross have promoted movement of charity house building for the poor and the disable.Those movements have been strongly supported by kind-hearted organizations and individuals.Reported by Thu Thao – Translated by Vi Bao
