All the unfortunate people are in the care of 58 staff of the Khanh Hoa Social Service Center, which seeks to reduce the isolation for old people and promote their independence as well as provides care and develops resilience in vulnerable children, enabling them to have access to education and achieve their full potential.
“The staff here are very enthusiastic. They give me great encouragement and care,” says 82 - year - old Dang Thi Lien, Phu Yen Province.
In addition, the staff help orphans to forget about their inferiority complex to integrate into society.
Do Huu Ngoc Hoai, Dien Khanh District, was born lacking parental love and care. As a newborn baby, he used to be placed in care and brought up by his maternal grandparents.
When his grandparents died, he became an uncared-for child. Luckily, he was taken to the social service center in 2003 when he was 12 years old. “The center has become my home with my dads and moms. I am really happy here,” he says.
Reportedly, every year the center frequently receives and takes care of over 300 people, including homeless, abandoned senior citizens and orphans, people with physical disability and chronic mental health problems, etc.
The center has sought and mobilized donation from organizations and individuals to improve the living standard of the people living here.
Dang Thi Ve, a managing employee of the center says, “We treat them as our relatives, and give them the best care that we can. In spite of hardship, we love our job.”
Tran Hiep, the vice director of the center says, “Following Uncle He’s moral examples, we all always make great effort to improve work quality. In the time to come, we all will enhance propaganda and education about work responsibility together with learning and following the examples of Uncle Ho's modest lifestyle.
