Transform hardship into a beautiful way of life.

Nguyen Duc Hau, a young man who grew up lacking the love and affection of a family, understands the emptiness of a child without enough protective arms. Undeterred by the past, Hau chooses to reach out to those who share his own experiences.

Duc Hau established the Lam Ha Volunteer Club, traveling throughout remote areas, distributing notebooks, bicycles, scholarships, and other necessities to underprivileged children and families.

The children received gifts.

For Hau, each trip is an opportunity to share a part of her youth with the innocent eyes of children, so that they know that no matter what circumstances they are born into, there are always people who love and support them.

Hau gives gifts to underprivileged children in Dak Nong (formerly).
