Happiness from doing charity work
In recent years, on the occasions of the mid autumn festival and the start of the new year, Ms Thuy's family buy about gifts, including confectionery and note-books worth VND 15 million for poor ethnic children. In September 2005, Ms Thuy and other charity donors have set up a charity kitchen at Binh Thuan general hospital.
Since 2004, every year, her family spend about VND 70 million to help disadvantaged people. Mr Nguyen Quang Anh, president of Binh Thuan province's Red Cross Society said that Ms Thuy had just not used her family's money but also her prestige to call for other to do charity work. At the moment, she comes to other localities, especially her homeland in the South Western region to help disadvantaged people.
Ms Thuy said that she had been assisted when she used to be very poor. She is better off now and she would never her poverty. And she said that the more people she could help, she would feel happier.
