Ms. Nguyễn Thị Lành lives in Hamlet 7 - Nam Chính - Đức Linh - Bình Thuận.

In the past, whenever I visited her, she would always complain about everything:

"Oh dear, I feel so much pain, dizziness, constant fatigue, I can't eat..."

But that day, when I visited her home, it was different from all the other times.

There she was, with a fresh, cheerful, and lively face.

"Please take a seat and wait a moment, I’m just in the middle of cooking," she said.

I looked at her, surprised by her lighthearted and confident tone.

ly, I asked, "What delicious dish are you cooking today?"

She shared with me:

"You know, I’m so grateful to the center. Since the Thiện Chí Center started caring for me, checking in on me, and encouraging my spirits, they’ve provided me with timely medicine and nutritious food. My health has improved so much. I feel less fatigued, which allows me to take better care of my family: I feel less dizzy and can sit and chat longer, do housework, cook, eat, and even sleep well… I’ve gained 2-3 kilograms."

Hearing her say this, my heart filled with joy for her and her family.

For her, "Nothing is more valuable than health. Only with health can we take care of our family. That’s the most valuable asset a person can have."

Intervention for children with special needs

We started working with children with special educational needs in 2008. At that time, we focused on capacity building for primary school teachers and established the "Hạnh Phúc" intervention room, where children with difficulties in school received support with life skills and learning outside of regular classroom hours. In 2012, we began visiting individual families to teach children literacy and numeracy and organized group sessions on social skills, a program known as the "Community Learning Box." In 2017, we initiated direct intervention at the center for hearing-impaired children—this served as a precursor to our current intervention program where parents bring their children to the center weekly. In 2018, we joined the "Narrowing the Gap" program of LIN and secured funding to begin "early intervention"

The efforts to intervene in learning have now yielded results

One afternoon, we visited the family of Trần Đức Phương Trinh. Both her mother and Trinh recognized us immediately, even though many years had passed since our last meeting. Her approachable demeanor and familiar face stood out on the now 19-year-old girl. Trinh had been part of the special education intervention program since 2013. She had learning difficulties and tongue-tie, causing her to have a speech impediment. Every time we had conversations during the intervention, she would drool, and her hands would always sweat. She struggled to write each letter and to pronounce every syllable, making her efforts heartwarming and inspiring.

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."
