On November 25, 5,000 corrugated fibro roofing sheets were brought to Khanh Vinh District, Khanh Hoa to help families whose houses were badly damaged by Typhoon Damrey. The roofing sheets were donated by Vietnam National Roofsheet Association and Quang Phuc Company, Quang Ngai Province.
Khanh Vinh District People’s Committee has distributed the roofing sheets to 156 families with badly-damaged houses. Each family received or 32 or 35m2 roofing sheets. A resident named Cao Lang, Quarter 6, Khanh Vinh Town, Khanh Vinh District, says, the typhoon blew off his roof and part off his wall. All of his 7 family members are staying in a tent built by his old house. “I’m very happy to receive 32 roofing sheets from Vietnam National Roofsheet Association and Quang Phuc Company. The roofing sheets will be used to repair our house,” he says.
The entire roof of Cao Thi Bich, Khanh Vinh Town, Khanh Vinh District was also blown off by the typhoon and a wall was damaged by fallen trees. Her family with 5 members has to stay in a tent near her old house because they are poor and cannot afford house reconstruction. “Thanks to Vietnam National Roofsheet Association and Quang Phuc Company, we can have roofing sheets for house repair. They will be used to repair our house tomorrow and we will have a safe place to live in.”

“The district has received 5,000 corrugated fibro roofing sheets donated by Vietnam National Roofsheet Association and Quang Phuc Company. It is meaningful support for the needy. On behalf of the district leaders, I would like to express gratitude to organizations, businesses and individuals for the valuable relief,” reports Mau Van Phi.
“I feel sad to see so many people have to live in temporary tents after their houses collapsed in the typhoon.
