Hi Hiver,
In today's society, there are still many difficult circumstances and pieces of life that need help. Every day, there are still benefactors, good people who bring love to share those fates.
It's a charity – one of the positive activities that are spreading right now.
In 2018, our group Phuot Da Nang organized a charity ceremony at A Duong commune, a high mountainous area of Dong Giang district, Quang Nam. Due to the geographical location around the hills and mountains, people's lives are still difficult. Children going to school have to walk very far because there is no transportation and the red dirt road is difficult to move, especially when the rainy season comes.
We went and in the last few days of autumn, the weather is fine.
But in the next few weeks, the weather will turn out to be cold and this was also a time when the little ones needed to be equipped with warm clothes, but it was a luxury for the people. Knowing everyone's difficulties and shortcomings, the leader of the team planned to donate from members of the group as well as everyone around.
We buy rice, books and collect old clothes for the kids. Although those items are not many, they also contribute to a warmer winter for the people. We started early in the morning in Da Nang, after baggage was packed in the back of the motorbike. We ran a circuit westward.
At noon we arrived, while on the move, many of the people in the back of the car fell asleep from fatigue, after the days of going to call for donations. Welcoming us were the eyes and expectations of the elderly and children, we took turns preparing gifts for the people. In the evening, we were treated to typical dishes in the highlands such as roast pork, bamboo pasta, blue rice, wild vegetables... I felt more compassion when the teachers told the children: This meal is still luxurious. It's good to have vegetables. When there are no vegetables, they have to go to the forest to get vegetables to eat.
Charity is the activity of sharing and helping vulnerable people from the heart and love of people. Nowadays, charity is manifested in many different forms by organizations, individuals, or groups.
These humanitarian charitable activities are increasingly interested and developed by society. In social life, in any country, there are situations of hardship and unhappiness. It could be a victim of a traumatic accident. These may be disadvantaged people in remote areas. It can also be the lonely elderly, abandoned children with no one to take care of… No matter how developed the country or how prosperous the society is, it is not possible to cover all these fates. Somewhere in life, there are people who are forgotten, immersed in hunger and pain. The tradition of loving and enveloping each other is passed down from generation to generation, it is like a beauty hidden inside every human being. Every year, every month, or even every day, there are campaigns in place to help people in difficult circumstances.
Such small acts of charity, but hidden feelings, huge sharing. They do charity to give peace of heart, to create happiness for their children in the future. They work to alleviate the deprivation, the hardships, and the unhappiness in life. It is these conscientious acts of charity that will spread positive things to society as a whole.
It seems that the new society is becoming better, healthier, and more civilized. One way or another, by material, by money, by clothing, or simply by lovingly sharing buttons, they spread their love, their voluntary mission to the hearts of gold, so that they could be shared, more loved, moved by each other's compassion. Social media is now an incredibly effective tool, bringing people together.
Whether it's for a small portion of breakfast or a cup of coffee, whether it's for a few tens of thousands or a few hundred dollars to help those plightful people, which are humanistic gestures.
Each trip gives participants its own distinctive mark, however, since this is a charity trip, each person's feelings will be very different… because it comes from the heart. They love to go to the highlands, go back to poor kids. Not out of curiosity for poverty, the poverty of different lands, but because of the warm feelings that people here give to everyone.
Wherever they go, they also feel the very cute, pure, innocent, and holy faces of children there... But due to the return path, the lives of poor and needy children, difficulties have aroused in the heart of every charity worker a special feeling of compassion! we need to go and experience with all our hearts.
That way charity comes back to the true meaning of the two words charity. This trip does not stop with sharing, sympathy, emotion, but it also takes on greater many meanings. It has awakened my heart's emotions, with all the most vibrating, most sincere, finding for myself the depths of my soul that in this life of boning, shoving, hustling, I have forgotten or, at some point, accidentally I have lost.
We stayed here, socialized with the people for a while, and the next morning we got up early to visit the places nearby. Most of it was just the green of the mountain forest because the location was near the border, so we were limited in movement. The officer gave us permission to check in on the historically significant milestone 678.
Then at noon we split up, a team returned to Da Nang to continue the work, a team went to visit the raindrops, Hiep Duc district, more than 30km from A Duong, the road was very difficult, and because of the slippery rain, it was very difficult for us to get there. Perhaps, because of the cool waters, splashing dust like rain, they call this place the raindrop waterfall. And one more special thing, according to the foresters here, no matter how dry the weather, the ravine is still full of water and flowing all year round.
Beneath the waterfall is a cool natural lake, whose depth is only equal to the human shoulder. Just wade through the lake, you will be able to squeeze yourself on the stacked rocks and enjoy the four surfaces of flowing water, comforting your body, like a gentle hand massaging regularly on your back.
To feel the length and timeless beauty of this place, just enamel the trails and cross the rocks, you will reach the top of the waterfall. Sitting on the top of the mountain, watching the white water pour down the deep smoke, all tiredness and troubles in life also disappear. To get to Khe Rain waterfall, guests can only go by motorbike or mountain bike because the trails lead to the surrounding mountains and narrow.
On the edge of the forest, you should set up the car in one place, then cross the road more than 2km, cross the old forest with wide trees that the sun cannot penetrate. One more special thing is that you can camp overnight at Khe Rain waterfall if you are crowded and should bring mosquito repellent and squirrel gear.
The trip left a lot of memories for me as well as for the group members. Hopefully, we will visit A Duong again but as an A Duong is more developed, people's lives are improved.
Thanks for reading, see you around!
