Over the past days, Typhoon Wipha has caused severe human and property damage to Nghe An Province—one of the hardest-hit localities.
The donated rice has been delivered to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An Province.
Ms. Le Thuong, founder of the Cay Tre Vietnamese Language School and currently Chairwoman of the Kansai Vietnamese Association, shared: “Although we live far from our homeland, our hearts are always with the motherland. When we heard about the devastating impact of the natural disaster on the people of Nghe An, the teachers at Cay Tre all joined hands, hoping to provide even a small amount of help so they can overcome this difficult period.”
According to Ms. Thuong, beyond material support, this act also carries a deeper meaning—spreading the Vietnamese tradition of “good leaves protect the torn ones” within the Vietnamese community in Japan.
Moreover, this serves as a valuable life lesson in compassion and social responsibility for Vietnamese students at the school to witness and follow.
The donated rice has been handed over to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An Province to promptly support households severely affected by the typhoon.
In the context of increasingly complex natural disasters, such heartfelt contributions from overseas Vietnamese not only provide warmth and relief to people at home but also strengthen the bond of national unity—no matter where Vietnamese people are in the world.
