The gift distribution to 151 blind families were carried out in 10 districts belonging to two provinces of Vinh Long and Ben Tre: Ba Tri, Binh Dai, Chau Thanh, Cho Lach, Giong Trom, Mang Thich, Mo Cay Bac, Mo Cay Nam, Ben Tre City and Vung Liem. There are families that we came to their house to distribute; in other cases, we rent cars to take them to the delivery location and bring them back and we pay for the transportation. We later learned that in each district there were youth groups volunteering to help the disabled and asked them to carry these families to the delivery location and back to make it less costly. Most of these blind people live alone, have no relatives, and live on the love of their neighbors. Everyone is very happy to know that the gifts they have given are so much more than their expectation. Especially the rice, we bought them high quality rice, because we wanted them to try it at least once in their life. Most of the poor people buy cheap rice so they usually have a lot of soil or pests because they have been left out too long. Although each gift is worth $50 but if a person tries to buy rice with $50, it would not get this much. The reason we can do it is because we buy it at wholesale prices.
Below are the pictures of the gifts’ distribution for 151 families. Each family got a package that is worth $50 which consists of ½ in food and ½ in cash, and a bottle of medicated oil. Each food package has: 25 kilograms of rice (55lbs), 2 kilograms of sugar (4.4 lbs), 2 bottles of soy sauce, 2 bottles of fish sauce, 1 bag of detergent 1kg (2.2lbs), 1 bag of cooking seasoning (454 grams), 1 bottle of cooking oil, 1 bottle of dish washing liquid, 1 tube of toothpaste, 1 can of condensed milk, 5 bags of noodles, 1 bottle of medicated oil and 500,000 VN dong cash (about $22 US dollars).
