SPECIAL EMERGENCY APPEAL TO FEED THE HUNGRY IN KONTUM – PHASE 1 May 2020 – REPORT
Why the need to feed the Hungry in Kontum and Gia Lai? In fact, the hungry situation is regular in those provinces among the montagnards, every year, as on average the montagnards families can get rice only 3 – 4 months of the year. It means that for the remaining time of the year (8 – 9 months), they are obliged to survive with manioc and sugar potatoes, bamboos, wild vegetables, dry woods from the forest to exchange with the “Kinh” (Vietnamese) !!! but the situation is so serious this year due to the dry season that lasts in irregular way and to the Covid-19 government measures.
Here are a few pictures of montagnards families in their daily life….. to get an idea on how they are suffering, what we can see everywhere when visiting remote villages.
Only 1 – 2 times per year the children can enjoy together a real meal like this one organized by the priest of parishes or by the sisters when they manage to get support from various sources, locally or from abroad….

Kính chào thầy,
Con gửi thầy một số hình ảnh và danh sách những người nhận quà nhu yếu phẩm trong chương trình cứu đói cho giáo xứ Plei Kobei, cùng hợp sức với các Soeurs và các công tác viện của con…
Dear Mr Hien,
I’d like to share with you few pictures and the list of “emergency hungry” families that have received the emergency packages, in cooperation with the sisters and collaborators of my parish Plei Kobei in the context of the project and programme.
Thầy gợi ý là 200 phần quà gồm 15kg gạo và nhu yếu phẩm, nhưng con thấy nhiều quá, hơn nữa để chia sẻ được cho nhiều người hơn, nên con mạm phép tăng số người nhận quà lên 250 người và giảm số gạo xuống còn 10kg.
You have suggested to give my parish total of 200 packages including 15 kg of rice and other daily needs for meals, but I find this too much. Moreover, in order to share to more beneficiaries, I’d like to increase the number of beneficiaries up to 250 families while reducing the volume of rice to 10kg instead of 15 kg.
Xin Chúa luôn đồng hành cùng mọi người trong việc làm chứng cho Chúa.
May God be with you and every good hearts…
Kính
Gioan Vũ Duy Ngữ.
