Spreading the Wings of Hope – Building a Daycare Nursery
The daycare nursery can house a quarter of all children in the commune of Que Chau. It can also accommodate other children in the neighboring commune, if needs rise. Not all children will have a chance to attend the daycare nursery for reasons such as geographical distance and lack of transportation means. The mountainous terrain makes it difficult to travel. In addition, houses are usually spread too far apart, without any means of transportation other than walking. Therefore, it would be difficult for parents to take their children to the daycare nursery.... READ MORE
Video Clip of Construction the ‘Understanding and Love’ Bridge in Gia Lao mount, Dong Nai, Vietnam
In its winding part upstream, Gia Lao stream runs through Tho Loc village in Xuan Tho commune, Xuan Loc district, Dong Nai province. This area is about 60 kilometers away from Long Khanh town, and more than 25 kilometers away from National Road 1A. The stream is about 3 meters deep, with slope riversides serving also as the paths via which local people bring their crop products grown in the mountain to town. Another reason why we decided to build the bridge was that it would benefit 843 families in Tho Loc village in particular and the ethnic minority families in the vicinity in general. The direct beneficiaries would be the local farmers in the villages within the two communes adjacent to Tho Loc commune, namely Suoi Cao and Xuan Bac....READ MORE

Tonle Sap Lake
The cool air from the air-conditioner woke me up after a long, sound sleep. After an 8-day-long trip to Cambodia, I felt tired due to intensive traveling and the influence of the storms on Tonle Sap when I visited our Vietnamese compatriots there. I have spent the night sleeping on the benches in Thailand’s airport while waiting for the connecting flight to India. It is now 4 a.m., I am happily wrapping myself in the scarf and writing a report about our beloved Vietnamese community living on Tonle Sap... READ MORE

After making the deal with the workmen for a new school, intended for Rach Dung village where Ms Dieu Lien had visited earlier, and sleeping at the house of Teacher Tu Lun (whom Ms Dieu Lien told about in her previous story), I rent a boat to come to Sa Son and haul the dilapidated school of Ms Loan over here in Kampong Luong, where there are adequate conditions (workers, bamboo, wood, other materials) for the reparation of the school.......

The bumpy, red-soil road led us through immense tea fields to Phap Hoa Pagoda, Di Linh district. The Pagoda is not far away from Di Linh’s downtown. After travelling a short distance from Di Linh market, we came to the turning to the pagoda. From distance, we saw its tole roof, surrounded by darkish blue canvas-tents. The unique feature of the pagoda is not its construction or architecture, because it is very poor, but its stretching green tea and coffees gardens. Though being located near the town, the path for walking meditation of Phap Hoa is still unconcretized, which looks as homely and sincere as the people here ... READ MORE
