Mounting - Sharing the Vietnamese Tourism

8/12/2012 past Sunday, Binh Phong Thanh Commune, Moc Hoa, Long An - the Cambodian border took place about 20-25 km charity program called "Coherence-SHARING". The program is funded and coordinated implementation by three travel companies: TNK Travel, Vietnam Tour and Vietnam Intertour. The purpose of the program are given gifts for 300 pupils of the commune, awarding three scholarships to the students to overcome poverty so that they are fully equipped, learning kits, books before threshold of the new school year 2012-2013. There are also direct visits, sharing and giving gifts to 10 households shorthanded situations, and 20 households difficult.

From 6.30, the car started the journey from Ho Chi Minh City to Binh Phong Thanh Commune. Although quite far block, overcoming many narrow bridge, but everyone in the group who also eager, enthusiastic.

Around 9:30, the delegation said. From a distance we saw the children lined up neatly, eager to welcome donors. Looking them spontaneously join group games, and gifts given pending hangover, which permeates our hearts the indescribable emotion. Think about the scene where they roll up in a pair of welcoming the new school year books, writing these words on white paper naive, but I felt happy happy heart.

Along with gift giving program for the students, the group also assigned into 3 groups of siblings to go to punish villages in the commune, to visit and share the household disadvantaged, the elderly solitary.



Binh Phong Thanh Commune has three villages, where life is more difficult. People here live mainly on rice cultivation and jute-growing plants used to knit all kinds of handmade handbags. Each year, people here are often faced with the tremendous flood, so life is pretty tight material deprivation.

I joined the volunteer team went to three villages in the commune, is also far from the most centralized location. Our journey goes motorbike first, then the machine can ferry to the households have disadvantaged, the elderly.

First we visit the house of Nguyen Thi Hong. Two instruments were old, old men and sick, bedridden, elderly women, it seems completely deaf. When we arrived, the two instruments is thought to visit distant descendants, that we come from two specific charitable groups are excited and emotional changes.

Then we went to visit the boat machine tools Thi Kiem Lake. Was outside the specific age 70, lives with her particular offspring were silent, deaf from small houses of love by people in social contributions and construction. The house was simple, the wind around by the old burlap sheets. I wonder, mother and daughter search engine how to live when the flood season? ...

The trip ended, leaving me and everyone dear memories. This is truly an enjoyable trip. I think this is a new trend in the future tourism: Tourism in conjunction with the charity. Because the trip was to learn more about the people, the country of Vietnam. Along with that also bringing smiles to everyone here, whether it can be just a little joy.

For me, this trip offers a lot of sense. I find in his heart a feeling of peaceful, loving, filled with love between man and man. And I suddenly remembered a saying I fully agree: "Life is for, where only their own."
