On the last day of our charity trip , we spent the whole day driving on the mountain ranges in highlands of KonTum . We visited three poor villages along the mountain ranges. Three of them shared some similarity. The land of the indigenous people were taken by the government, so they earned very little by working on small coffee farms or rubber estates.
The three villages that we have visited were :
1. Dak Krau
2. Kon Tu Yop ( it is near Mountain Charlie where the Battle of Kontum happened, where many soldiers and civilians were sacrificed.)
3. La Vang ( the main ethnicity is Yarai.) They welcomed us with their music and dance performance and gave us lots of banana in return for our generosity
Millions thanks to our Dana volunteers (Mr Loan , Mr Pham Ngoc , Mdm Nguyen Thi Nhui Nga and spouse, Mdm Tuoi Le and her husband Mr Thuc , Mdm Thuy Nguyen -Thuy Nguyen , Mdm Nguyen- Thi Xuan Hue and Mr Hoang Tien Le) who have assisted me throughout the charity trip in Vietnam. We must also thank our drivers who drove almost 6-8 hours everyday. And not forgetting Ms Anna who has been co-ordinating a lot far in Melbourne .
In this trip, we have donated 4300 children gifts (Each gift includes 1 pack of crackers, 3 small packs of snack , 1 pencil and two books), 2300 kg of rice, 350 boxes of dry noodles,230 bottles of fish sauce,230kg of salt,230 bottles of cooking oil and 9300 portions of porridge for 1300 kids.
