Help Central Vietnam Rise Above Poisoned Waters!

1. Outreach at People’s Committee of Thuan An Commune, June 25, 2016

In a time before the COVID-19 pandemic, personal interactions were a touching way to show care. During our visit to Thuan An Commune in Phu Vang District, we personally handed out gifts to the community. The joy and gratitude were evident in their faces, as the presents were received with great appreciation.

This fishing-reliant community had been significantly impacted by mass fish deaths, which temporarily deprived them of their primary income source. Even small gifts brought immense joy, highlighting their difficult circumstances. Many recipients lingered to express their heartfelt thanks, showcasing the deep appreciation they felt for the TMT Foundation’s support.

Long Tho Temple is dedicated to the care of orphans and children with disabilities, each facing their own unique challenges.

Despite their circumstances, the children lifted the mood by sharing jokes with us, leaving behind cherished and heartwarming memories.
