On September 29, 2015, Habitat for Humanity Vietnam has welcome a team from Dow Chemical Int’l Ltd Rep. Office in Vietnam to help build 2 homes for vulnerable families in Tan An city, Long An province.
Meeting between the team and local authorities before building
The DOW Chemical Vietnam team divided into 2 groups to help family of Mr. Tran Van Tien and family of Mr. Nguyen Van Hung repair and paint windows and doors for their new houses. It may not be a huge workload but even big or small, the team hope to give a hand to help poor families and also join them in the happiness of having new, decent homes.
Before paiting an old window for the new home
Having a new home has long been dreams for both families Mr. Tien and Mr. Hung as their house were old and rotten without toilets or bathrooms. They all face difficulties in daily life with low and unstable income. Even worse, Mr. Hung’s youngest son, Cuong has to suffer from elephantiasis disease and Mr. Hung himself can’t walk or move after a serious accident several years ago.
