They say “a picture is worth a thousand words”. The face of this lady pictured in the introduction to the blog tells the story of a difficult life and the need for hope.
DCHA visited some very poor areas in Vietnam and worked with our local contacts to bring relief to many in need of food items and some basic essentials such as hygienic items. We have visited the same places many times over the years, and they know us when we come. We also let the people know that we understand this small gift we bring will not greatly improve their difficult lives, but it will remind them that we have not forgotten them and that they are in our hearts. This idea that we have not forgotten them means more to them than the food basket that we bring.
