The pot of thin porridge on the top of the mountain of a poor couple

16/04/2021 23:00

The corn in the house ran out when Hoang Van Ly (27 years old) had to go to Hanoi. The thin porridge meal for the whole Ly family for 5 years has been exchanged for building houses for the Kinh people in the lowlands.

Ly lives in Hanoi, he sleeps in construction shacks with compatriots like himself. For 5 years, it's called going to Hanoi, but Ly has never walked out of the door of the project, don't know what the city, the car and even delicious food are like!

Every month, he frugal, fasting, and sending home more than 2 million VND. That is the amount of rice that feeds the child for a whole month.

In 2015, Ly and Gia got married. At that time, when they liked each other, the two of them took each other back, used 3 and a half million dowry to buy a towering land on Na Bon hamlet. Wooden basket, cover a little plastic tarpaulin to make the roof a. The remaining land next to the forest is plowing corn and raising chickens to improve meals.

Then, in 2018 Tam was born, and in 2020 following Huong, how many corn plants were no longer enough to raise children. 

The roof in the 3rd year was super crooked, the column collapsed. Several times, Ly messaged his wife to try to do business to build a decent place to raise children. But thinking about the money for meal every day, the couple Ly hesitated forever.

Accompanying the journey to build a home in poor provinces of Vietnam, Mr. Hieu (representative of Vietlott) did not hide his emotions when witnessing the joy of poor people. At the house donation ceremony for Mrs Gia's family, he moved to share:

“Indigenous people in Cao Bang and especially in Bao Lam district are really difficult. For many years like Gia's family, she still had to live alone on the top of the mountain, with her children eating thin porridge every day. But it was the love and energy of the whole family that made Vietlott emotional, ready to go to the place to rebuild the home.

In 2020, Vietlott has built more than 100 gratitude houses, sending thousands of children to school and continuing to go to school. These talking numbers are an honor and motivation for Vietlott to do more and more programs in the future to help people like the Gia family."

In the evening after dinner, Ly called back, he told his wife: "Don't wait for Tet anymore, build a house, I'll come back to help you".

Because for Ly's family, having a new house means having the whole New Year.
