VnExpress Hope Fund joins hands for Quang Nam

After the mask, he carefully explained: “My name is Michelle, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. I work in Vietnam. I read the newspaper and I see here that you donate to flood victims in Central Vietnam. So what can I contribute? I want to call friends some goods.

These days in the central region, hundreds of people belonging to the rescue forces are struggling to find the missing people in the landslides after the floods in Leng tea, Tra Van (Nam Tra My) and Phuoc Loc, Phuoc Thanh (Phuoc Son District), Quang Nam Province.

In Tra Leng, the residential group “Ong De roof” with 14 wings together is now just a vast gray mud at the foot of village 1. The rare evidence that this place used to “have a house” is a book “Chemistry 9” He has a pen with the name “Dinh Thi Thanh Thao” on it.

On October 30, two days after the landslide, Ho Van Hai, along with six other friends, were brought home by teachers from the South Tra My Ethnic Minority boarding school. The teachers did not warn the students early because they feared they could not bear it, nor did they let the children go home immediately because the 35 km, floods and landslides were dangerous.

But now Hai’s “house” is just his father’s grave, lying dormant next to the landslide. The slightly protruding ground tissue is temporarily collected by three boards, on top of which are a cake packet, a packet of sweets and some incense sticks. Nearby, several other graves, stocked with packets of instant noodles, cakes, and sweets.

Hai lost 8 family members, including parents, two younger brothers, brother-in-law, uncle and uncle. Hai remembers coming home last week, his parents telling him, “Remember to focus on studying, don’t go out,” when he rode his motorcycle back to school. “It turned out that it was the last time I was home,” he said.

Standing with Hai awaiting news of the rescue, Ho Thi Hoa, a 20-year-old woman, lost 7 family members. He said there was a piece of betel with a quarter of areca fruit and the shroud for his father to eat there to help cool the people down. The Mo Nong people of this area have a custom of eating betel nuts, young, old and young, all year round. They grow areca and cinnamon for their livelihood. In the forest, there are areca trees. Hoa’s house, before being dragged through the mud, has an areca tree in front of it. He went to work at Tam Ky, came home once a week. Son, every time he hears the sound of his mother’s motorcycle, he runs to the root of the bridge. No, baby and the whole house, her parents buried with areca roots.

In Tra Van, Phuoc Loc, Phuoc Thanh, after recent landslides due to flooding, the school infrastructure was destroyed, many residential areas were almost cut off from the outside.

Quang Nam Province Department of Education and Training Director Ha Thanh Quoc said the exact number of missing students was not recorded, but at least three primary school students in Phuoc Loc (Phuoc Son) and four in Tra Van . Tea Leng (South Tra My) has lost her life.

Teachers are trying to prevent children from dropping out of school after this impact. “Everything is a hundred expansion,” Quoc said.
