Mr. Hoàng An Hải - Đông Hà: "Without health insurance, I was always worried, afraid of getting sick. Every time I got sick, I tried to push through, but the more I worried, the worse the illness became. Whenever I got sick, I would buy some painkillers just to get by. Many times, I didn’t dare go for a check-up, fearing they’d discover more illnesses. I sincerely thank the Center for providing me with health insurance."

Tăng Hùng An, born in 2003, and his twin brother Tăng Hùng Nam, also born in 2003, reside in Thôn 1B, Trà Tân Commune, Đức Linh District, Bình Thuận Province. Both brothers faced difficulties with language and learning. An's mother used to worry that her son would remain slow-witted, which caused her great concern. With the desire to help her children develop, she sought assistance from the Thiện Chí Center. In 2014, Thiện Chí visited the family, assessed the situation, and intervened to support both brothers. The initial phase was extremely challenging. Due to short-term memory issues, An would forget what he had learned quickly, but with perseverance from both Thiện Chí and the children, progress was made, one letter at a time. An studied from grade 3 until grade 6, at which point he stopped. By grade 6, An could read, write, and do math proficiently, and Thiện Chí evaluated that he had reached the necessary educational level to graduate from the program.
