Gifts for the blind in Mỹ Tho 2017.01.15

February 01, 2017

When I was born mother did not want me to be like everyone
And I was born not seeing anyone in the world
The love for me is more precious than anything
My eyes can not see my mother and father.

Who loves me like my parents in this life
Who loves me like my teachers have taught in those days
The love for me is longer than the longest river
My eyes can not see my teachers.

Oh! My eyes.
Why can’t my eyes see my parents
Cannot see my teachers
No light, only the dark night.

Who loves me like my parents in this life
Who loves me like my parents have care for me in those days
Their love for me is longer than the longest river
Right now my eyes can not see my friends.

Dear Benefactors

Everyone have the right to live and have aspirations, but the lives of overseas Vietnamese living at the border lake in Cambodia are “hopeless”. Because they do not have documentation and they are not Vietnamese citizen. Tu Bi Foundation could only visit annually with New Year gifts. Beside that the “love and kindness” school built by the Tu Bi Foundation has been carried out very well, the students are progressing very fast.

On Jan 6, the TuBi group arrive with gifts for 20 families living in the rubber forest. We visited the classroom and found the students too pale. And the clothes of the students were very slippery. We decided to return bringing each student with new clothes to celebrate the new spring – Year of the Fire Rooster. Each child was given fresh milk and candy. Mothers were given new clothes and each family is given a headlamp so they can see way in through the rubber forest at night.

We were happy to see the children dance to new clothes, drink milk and eat candy … we also bought powdered milk for a premature baby, the 7 months looked 1 month old.
