In mid-February 2020, the Hong An Association received a letter from Sister To, the Charity Coordinator of the Daughters of Our Lady of Unity of Bac Ninh. She shared stories and pictures of visiting the poor from different villages. Thanks to the photos, the Hong An Association can get a glimpse of the Sisters’ experiences throughout their journey.
After each trip, the Sisters share stories of their fun and exciting trip in a way that pictures cannot convey.
Usually, before each trip to the underprivileged villages, the Sisters look for acquaintances that are going towards the villages area to help assist with their mission. On this trip, the Sisters found a couple who needed to buy oranges near the village that the Sisters intended to visit in Tuyen Quang. Their car had empty space from Bac Ninh, so the Sisters asked them to haul supplies and food for the poor.
When they arrived, they dropped off the supplies to the poor and went to buy oranges as planned. 
Please give a big round of applause for the Sisters for coming up with a resourceful plan but also applause for the generous couple as well as for the benefactors who have helped so much. This type of plan saves money, time, and gas. Best of all, it ensures that more poor people will get the help they need!
After the trip, Sister To said: “Sister, I’ve never gotten so many phone calls like this before with the recipients thanking us for their gifts. They said that the weather has been wet and cold so they were unable. Now they received rice, instant noodles, and warm clothes. Thank you so much to the benefactors!
I would like to express my sincere thanks to you, The Hong An Association for sharing with the poor “a bit of a beginning to a bright future”. May God bestow blessings on the Sisters and the Hong An Association.”
Please see the photos from the Sisters.
