In Hue
The location chosen for the humanitarian aids funded by VGAC is Quan Hoa Village, belonging to Quang Thanh commune, Quang Dien district, Thua Thien Hue province. As a new resettlement village, Quan Hoa is located right on the bank of Tam Giang Lagoon. The village consists of 116 households with 520 residents. People here live upon fishing, fish rising, and rice cultivation. Because of its location, Quan Hoa is prone to flooding during the rainy season.
In this 2007, Hue has suffered from four constant floods. But, in the village, there was only one single flood but lasting for more than 1.5 months. The local people had to struggle with the floods during 45 days because water of the previous flood hasn’t gone down yet, the next has come. Though there was no human casualty, a lot of production tools (fishing boats, nets, etc.) have been lost or damaged. Having no harvests on fishing and farming production, people have encountered with more and more difficulties.
VGAC donated VND 8,500,000 to flood-prone families in Quan Hoa Village. The members in Hue chapter leaded by Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh granted to 34 households with each portion was VND 250,000.

The fund of 5,000,000 was granted to students of Da Nang Foreign University who was injured or has relative die in the last flood.
