Thank You!

Thank you for your generous donation to the Vietnam Flood Relief last month. Your contributions have made a tremendous impact on the lives of hundreds of flood victims in Vietnam.

The flood that hit Vietnam’s central coast in early October took 112 lives and left 150,000 families displaced. The OneVietnam community responded quickly to provide much needed winter supplies for these displaced families. In only 10 days, donors like you from around the U.S. raised a total of $3,593 to support the flood victims in Vietnam. Donors’ contributions were used to provide warm blankets and mosquito nets to 270 families in Ha Tinh and Nghe An provinces of Vietnam from November 11 to 13.

Due to the emergency nature of this special initiative and high transaction fees, we could not qualify your donation for tax deduction in time. We apologize and will personally refund your donation upon request.

The Vietnam Flood Relief special initiative was truly a team effort by the our entire community. Thank you again for your generosity to the flood victims in Vietnam and support for OneVietnam Network. We have prepared a detailed recap in subsequent pages. Please enjoy and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Your OneVietnam Team

The Flood

Vietnam’s northern central provinces were hit with a devasting storm in early October. 112 people were left dead, and 150,000 families were displaced.

Relief to the most impacted areas was slow and difficult. Roads, highways, and railways into Ha Tinh and Quang Binh provinces were completely submerged under water. 4

Our OneVietnam community quickly responded online to support the flood victims in Vietnam. The response was amazing! In just 10 days, 47 generous donors from across the U.S. came together and raised over $3K to provide warm blankets and mosquito nets for the flood victims.

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 families whose homes were destroyed by the storm, however, needed blankets and mosquito nets to protect them from the approaching winter. Our team of volunteers in Vietnam worked quickly to purchase 270 blankets and mosquito nets and to schedule delivery to flood victims in Ha Tinh and Nghe An provinces.

Day 1: Arriving at Ha Tinh province

By noon on Nov. 11, a team of volunteers has loaded a huge cargo truck with hundreds of blankets and mosquito nets. They spent most of the day traveling from Ha Noi to Ha Tinh province. When they arrived, the water has been mostly drained, but evidence of the storm was still fresh.

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 friends through their work outside of OneVietnam. Thinh and 6 other volunteers generously donated weeks of time to plan and deliver relief to the people at Ha Tinh and Nghe An provinces. 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.
