Phuong Linh, Phuong Quynh, Hang Nga, Kim Lieu and Faridah are 18 years old and in the same class at a continuing education center in Phu Nhuan district.
On three motorcycles, each one put a jacket in front of the car, the person behind also hugged another, when they saw the figure of the person lying on the road, they stopped. The group was “escorted” by Phuong Linh, a “street gentleman” from the Phu Nhuan district.
“Do you need warm clothes, ma’am? We have a lot of warm clothes,” Le Phuong Linh said, running past an old woman sitting on the corner of Phan Dinh Phung Street (Phu Nhuan District). The old woman was only wearing a braided shirt and was trying to protect her with a raincoat.
Three cars were put together, “showing goods” for the old woman to try. “Is there a black one for you to try?” Ms. Ngoc (64 years old) tried on her shirt while asking the girls.
He said he made a living from collecting cicadas and was staying in a dorm recently, but had to wait until midnight every day to get plastic bottles from a nearby “termite” cafe.
In another corner where two little girls sleep, the five get out of the car because there are five people: two girls and three women. Gia Bao, the name of the 3-year-old girl, was still sleepy, but she obediently let the sisters put on some colorful coats.
Ms. Dieu Thuy, Gia Bao’s mother, was also quick to choose one and thanked her happily. “I collected bottles and sold them to make money. Gia Bao is my son, and the eldest son is Thuy, 8 years old, my sister’s daughter left me to raise,” he said.
For more than an hour, five girls walked the streets to deliver warm clothes to those in need. Most are old men and women who collect cicadas who live on the streets.
“My house is also in this area (Phu Nhuan district). It has been cold these days, seeing my grandparents huddled in the middle of the night, so I went looking for places to buy old clothes and send them to them,” Linh said. He also buys second-hand from time to time, so he knows a good point of sale and immediately buys a large package of all kinds. “I thought it would be night, because a cold night would be painful,” he said.
Linh said that next night he will continue to go to more areas in District 6, District 1 …

These days, the central provinces are also cold, many children go to school without warm clothes, so the Co Bon La volunteer group has coordinated with several other groups of volunteers to implement the “Warm Clothes” program.
120,000 sweatshirts will be taken to various schools in remote areas of central provinces that have been affected by the recent floods. Students wore warm shirts to ease the cold on their daily commute to school.
In addition to giving children warm clothes, Purple Journey Club also coordinates with many groups of young volunteers from Ho Chi Minh City to go to Ha Giang to share the cold with children from remote mountainous areas.
Friends Le Thi Thanh Thuy said: “We adults are still frozen from the cold in the mountains. Children, limbs and face are red from the cold. Wearing warm clothes makes them feel warm inside.”
