In the spirit of the Vietnamese saying “Strong leaves protect tattered ones", Asiana Travel Mate launched the “Hearts for Central Vietnam” program and recently donated relief supplies to flood victims in Quang Binh Province.”In the early morning, management and employees of Asiana Travel Mate hit the road to visit Thuong Hoa commune, Minh Hoa district, Quang Binh Province, the poorest and the heaviest area impacted by the storms and floods of October 2010. The flood destroyed over a hundred homes, tons of food, crops, livestock in the thousands and polluted water sources.
The company’s team arrived at the commune about 10 on a rainy morning and met with the Vietnamese Fatherland Front Committee. Mr. Son, chairman of the committee and members of the commune authority helped distribute rice, cooking oil and clothes to families who gathered at the office compound.
We were all tired and hungry after the 6 hour car journey from Hue, but went to visit several households to distribute additional supplies. The conditions of the homes gave us some insights into the lives and poverty of the people in this remote area. We were touched by the warm smiles when they received our gifts.
Leaving the village which is surrounded by misty limestone peaks, we were glad that we were able to bring some joy to these poor ones.
