Tra Van is a particularly disadvantaged mountainous commune with over 98% of its population being ethnic minorities; it is frequently and severely affected by natural disasters, especially landslides during the rainy season.

Karen Leonard OAM, founder of the Lifestart Foundation, said that the gifts are not only material support but also a source of moral encouragement for students and disadvantaged families during the Lunar New Year. This is one of many community projects that the Lifestart Foundation has been implementing in Central Vietnam.
