Nov 20, 2020 – Since the beginning of October, central Vietnam has been pounded by consecutive tropical storms and typhoons, which have brought widespread flooding and landslides to the region.
At least 1.5 million people have been affected by flooding and 235 people have died or are missing, according to the Vietnamese government.
Our volunteers on the ground have delivered emergency packages, which included rice, food, life jackets, and flashlights, to students and their families.
Pacific Links Foundation is an NGO that currently supports disadvantaged families in central Vietnam and it has been vigorously fundraising to support families in flood-affected Quang Tri, Quang Binh, and Hue provinces.
“We will provide packages which will include books and school supplies, as well as computer tablets for students to continue learning through our online learning platform, especially when schooling is being disrupted,” said Hong Nguyen, the deputy director for SEEDS, a Pacific Links Foundation scholarship program which currently supports over 2,500 students.
