- Kindness Trip - Diverse charity projects spanning North - Central - South
- Ngan Quynh was moved by the loyalty of an elderly couple who cooked free charity rice for over 50 years.
With 1,000 VND, workers and people in need can become "customers" at a restaurant right in the center of Hanoi. This is the information that workers in Bach Dang area, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi pass on to each other to share the difficulties and hardships in life.
The kindness of Mr. Nguyen Anh Vu has created a special restaurant for the poor.
Mr. Nguyen Anh Vu - Founder of Tam Thuong Charity Fund shared: “I want to share the difficulties with the people, when the meals are more and more expensive, the life of the poor workers is more and more difficult. If in the summer, a meal consists of 4 main dishes, in the winter the menu is changed to include 8 dishes so that everyone can eat more. When the people heard the news, they came in large numbers and told each other to line up to receive rice like in the old subsidy period. Every Monday noon, seeing many people coming, the joy of me and the volunteers in the group increases.”
Tam Thuong Charity Fund has distributed hundreds of charity meals worth 1000 VND every Monday noon.
Economic difficulties make the workers even more burdened. The spirit of mutual love has probably been imbued in every page of children's books and the daily work of the Vietnamese people for a long time. In order to share the difficulties of workers and the disadvantaged, the Tam Thuong Charity Fund organizes a program to sell full, nutritious and hygienic meals for only 1,000 VND every Monday at 405 Bach Dang - Hoan Kiem - Hanoi.
After 33 weeks of persistently implementing the charity rice program, the campaigners have felt the warmth and necessity of the 1,000 VND meals reaching those in need.
Vietnamese dishes are selected by chefs from fresh, seasonal ingredients. Chefs will encapsulate their love of food in each dish to send to special guests. From meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, all have clear origins, foods are processed and used on the same day to ensure food hygiene and safety.
In the early winter days of Hanoi, meals with guaranteed ingredients seem to want to share and dispel the harshness of the weather. “The way you give is better than what you give” is a model of kindness and respect for the values of “helping each other” that have existed for thousands of years in the Vietnamese people.
Mr. Nguyen Anh Vu has implemented this model since 2015, and up to now, the value of 1,000 VND rice has received support from the people.
According to local people, each meal costs only 1,000 VND but is so filling that the ladies and gentlemen can divide it into 2 meals.
“Gifts are worries, gifts are debts” - In order to eliminate the feeling of hesitation and inferiority when receiving free meals, Mr. Nguyen Anh Vu - founder of Tam Thuong Charity Fund said: “A little sharing from the small actions of each individual can help reduce the burden on society somewhere. By only paying 1,000 VND, workers and poor people who have to “run for every meal” can become “customers” who are served attentively with respect and sharing by a restaurant located in the center of Hanoi.
In particular, Vu always reminds volunteers to be polite, always listen and share with people who come to buy 1,000 VND rice."
The Tam Thuong Charity Fund has had charity activities such as "Tet Trip" or activities to help the disadvantaged and disadvantaged. The 1,000 VND meal program is also an annual activity launched by the fund at restaurants in Hanoi.
Vietnamese-flavored dishes warm the hearts of workers on cold winter days.
For 33 consecutive weeks, every Monday this place has become a familiar address helping hundreds of disadvantaged workers and people in special circumstances buy restaurant food for 1,000 VND.
It is known that all the money collected from the sale of 1,000 VND meals will continue to be used for the next charity purpose. Besides those who come to buy 1,000 VND meals, there are also people who buy charity meals and support larger denominations for charity purposes.
