In the morning of the same day, the volunteer team continued to visit and gave 50 gifts to the poor people in Vinh Yen hanlet, Duc Lang commune, Duc Tho district, Ha Tinh province. This was the commune with the deepest and heaviest flood of the province. The cultural house was the place for giving gifts, the volunteer team noted that the water level was 1.5m here. It is worth noting that the cultural house is the highest area in the commune.

One of the communes suffering from theworst flood was Lien Hoa commune, Duc Lien commune, Vu Quang district. Because there is no bridge so over 400 households of the commune must travel by ferry. When the flood water rises, the whole commune is separated.So it is very hard for people to receive the relief. The volunteer team of Bitexco is not an exception. They had to ask people to go to this side of river to receive gifts and relief. Under the heavy rain in the Central, people and the volunteer team tried our best for people to quickly get gifts.

In the afternoon of 30/10, the volunteer team continued to visit 150 children who were poor pupils in kindergarten and primary school in Vu Quang district. They were taken to schools at weekends to receive gifts with bewildered and innocent faces. They were so curious and happy to receive gifts from the volunteer team and temporarily forget the sadness when returning to the dilapidated houses to remedy the flood damages together with their parents.

The members of the volunteer team were so touched when seeing their stature walking with their parents in the heavy rain, signaling a new flood. The members of the volunteer team prayed that there shall be a miracle to the people here through the good heart of the whole country. We hope to see you in another better circumstance with more joyful laughter and hope that you can overcome difficulties and hardships to develop the economy, to get rich and create the future.
