Dear Benefactors,
Tu Bi Bridge # 12 and 13 was built at Đầm Dơi district in Cà Mâu, which helped to overcome difficulties for students and poor people in the area. In the past, they had to rent boats to cross and poor students had to hang on to floating raft to pull across with a rope. Only 2 can cross at a time.
On May 14, 2017, the Tu Bi Foundation consisted of Venerable Thanh Luong, Venerable Minh Lien, bhikkhunī Viên Anh, sister Dung, and Lieu Duyen travel from Saigon to Cà Mâu to attend the inauguration of Tu Bi bridge #12 and #13 in person. The only means of getting to the local area was by boat.
At the inauguration, we perform “Life Release” to pray for peace in the region. We also gave students gifts and sweets. The nuns interaction with the locals help them better understand the life of the students and their elders … Thanks to the concrete bridge, the local government will build roads on either side.
Tu Bi Foundation sincerely appreciate the IMF Civic Community Association, Venerable HT Thich Tri Minh from Norway and Vien Thong Pagoda for their contribution in completing these projects.
Sincerely,
Tu Bi Foundation
