The Relief

In the weeks following the storm in Vietnam’s central coast, many relief groups provided food and water to the flood victims. Many familieswhose homes were destroyed by the storm, however, needed blanketsand mosquito nets to protect them from the approaching winter. Ourteam of volunteers in Vietnam worked quickly to purchase 270 blankets

and mosquito nets and to schedule delivery to flood victims in Ha Tinhand Nghe An provinces.

OneVietnam relied on a small group of volunteers in Vietnam led by our dear friend Thinh Duong. Thinh and Paul, our Director of Engineering, are long time friendsthrough their work outside of OneVietnam. Thinh and 6 other volunteers generouslydonated weeks of time to plan and deliver relief to the people at Ha Tinh and Nghe Anprovinces. We are thankful for their time and dedication to helping the hundreds of flood victims in Vietnam. Thinh and his family recently moved to Southern California.

Be sure to connect with him on OneVietnam if you’re in the area.
