Typhoon relief continues

Over the weekend, Blue Dragon worked with the Vietnamese Red Cross to get emergency supplies of rice, noodles, and water filters to families in Hue.

Although the typhoon ended a month ago, flooding continues and families are unable to get back to work - so there's still extensive hunger, homelessness, and general misery.

Auscham in Ho Chi Minh City raised the funds to pay for all this - big thanks to them for their support.

Bless you BD, still and again, for your practical help and assistance to these displaced and suffering people. Having experienced a flood that made my home uninhabitable for months, I remember the difficulty. May you be given all you need to do all you desire.

It's sad that typhoons come to the Central of Vietnam at least a few times every year. The people there really need help.
