For them, the corner of the porch is the bed, the blanket is the tarp, the plastic is hastily spread to protect from the rain and wind. |

A group of young people from the Light Up Faith Club, with the help of a benefactor, donated 10 sleeping bags to homeless elderly people living in makeshift tents and porches in Vinh City. In the photo, club members visited Ms. Ha, a beggar living in a makeshift hut near Cua Tien Bridge. |

Volunteers went down to the fishing village near Cua Tien bridge to distribute sleeping bags to lonely elderly people. |
 |
Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, head of the Light Up Faith Club, said that through the club's charitable activities and knowing the difficult circumstances of many people, every winter, the club often organizes activities to help and support, especially the elderly in Vinh city. With more than 1,000 members and volunteers, the club has many times organized free meals, blankets, volunteer porridge cooking... to help many difficult circumstances. |
 |
Not only giving sleeping bags, volunteers also gave night meals to each elderly man and woman, hoping to help them get through the cold winter nights. |
 |
The sincerity of the young people made many homeless people feel moved. |
 |
Mrs. Huong, who collects scrap metal near Quang Trung Market during the day and sleeps on the sidewalks near the City Gate at night, could not hold back her tears when young people gave her warm sleeping bags. These humane gestures, though not large, partly prove that the warmth of humanity still exists in a society that seems to be caught up in a hurried pace of life. |
