Van Lam with the work of caring for and helping the poor

In her new, clean and beautiful house, Ms. Le Thi Nhan in Trinh village (Lac Dao commune) expressed: For many years, my family has lived in a dilapidated, leaky house that did not ensure daily life.

With the cooperation and help of relatives and friends, the solid house was completed and put into use. This is a priceless gift that has helped my family stabilize their housing. Not only that, every year on holidays and Tet, I receive the attention of authorities at all levels and benefactors with many meaningful gifts.
