Natural Water Resource Project, Truong Son – Quang Binh 2019.04.02

Dear Benefactors,

Dear Benefactors,

This is the third time Tu Bi Foundation returns to Truong Son Mountain to give gifts and implement charities to help Van Kieu ethnic minority people in slit villages along Truong Son Mountain – Quang Binh. This is a national area where forest protection is prohibited. All life activities are independent of farming and animal husbandry. 70% of people do not speak Vietnamese and most are poor. It is our every deed that brings hope, faith, and happiness to everyone. Clusters, communities and predestined localities are supported by the Association. This is a dream they never thought would be real. May the poor people who are destitute have a better life.

Every year after Lunar New Year, is the drought season in the Central provinces. People have to work very hard to find clean water, especially people in the mountains and highlands. Animals and people share the same water source – that is, drinking water in flowing along streams … It took us close to a 1 year, to have enough conditions to learn and implement this program. Tu Bi Foundation is grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Vu Van Duy’s family in California, elder Than Thi Bich Dao at Vien Thong Pagoda in Texas, and the benefactors in Virginia for donating and dedicating prayer to the spirits of Mr. Vu Van Phuong, elder lady Than Thi Bich Dao, elder lady Vo Van Nuong, elder lady Trinh Duc Thinh … reborn to peaceful world Pureland. The program is well done and successful.

We were taught to be mindful were reminded to build “Natural Water”. We take the water flowing from the streams from above and gather in two small self-built dams, through the process of gathering and filtering water twice by natural rocks. Afterward the pipes will bring water to the home of 45 families, two schools and the village community area. In every job to help the life of people and life, we are always concerned about the impact on the environment and activities of the people, especially Truong Son, which has many unique things that are easy to cause malaria. We also have plans to protect clean water for people to use to avoid getting sick.

Especially construction programs, Tu Bi always include with the local people. We provide the materials and locals contribute their efforts. The total program cost is 9,500 USD. Local contributions and small supplies. Tu Bi helped with $7,500 USD to buy water tanks and all plumbing materials to bring water down to the source. The program completed beyond the dream of Tu Bi and the local people.”
