While moving these 11 beggars to the intersection of National Highway 1 to catch a bus, 7 more people were discovered. This group consisted of 2 adults and 5 children, wandering and begging on the roads with traffic lights on National Highway 1 in Ward 3 and Ward 1. This group spent the night at the Vietnam Nostalgia Tourism Development Center at the intersection of National Highway 1.

“While waiting for the vehicle to take the subjects back to their residence, the working group encouraged these people to return to their hometowns to live and work, and not wander around begging. In addition, with the attention of Tan Quang Dung bus company (running the Da Nang - Lao Bao route), they supported the beggars to Lao Bao Border Gate,” Mr. Binh added.
