Chú Nhị Người Cha Tần Tảo Bán Vé Số Nuôi 5 Người Con

—————-

Here in the picture is the middle-aged man named Nhi, whom we came across on the charity trip in Ninh Thuan province.

As introduced his name, we came up with questions half-jokingly, “Your name is Nhi so you are the second child in the family?” (“Nhi” means second in Sino-Vietnamese), “No, I’m the eighth child”, “So how many brothers and sisters totally in your family?”, “Perhaps eight or nine, I didn’t remember all”

It’s sound a bit surprising, right? Even how many members in the family that could not remember all. But after talking, asking this man’s circumstances, we somewhat understand.

Looking at uncle’s emaciated, skinny appearance, few people may think he is just 45 years old this year. With 5 children in the teenager age, the couple struggles to make a living. His wife works away from home and comes home once to twice a year. He alone is like single-parent who brings up his 5 children. Luckily, the first child is 17 years old this year and also has worked in the city to help out the family.

He told us he is lottery ticket seller and did not know why he searches for and comes to this region around 7, 8 years ago (Nhi Ha commune, Thuan Nam district, Ninh Thuan province). Then he received help from brother Tri and some Christians here.

In the last 2 years, he decided to move to and settle in Nhi Ha commune permanently. No land, no house, no relatives, uncle has stayed temporarily in a simple house on a piece of church’s land.

In the past, when he was in the hometown, uncle was a poor household so his children went to school for free. Now moving here, uncle was “escaped from poverty”. The government does not recognize his “poor status” so the children go to school without receiving any support. But uncle feels glad because here there are brothers and sisters who usually come back and forth to bring care and encouragement.

Although struggling with a living, but uncle still tries his best that his children are able to go to school just like any other children. The picture of his children in their uniform transported to school by their father: the children holding their school bags, the father wearing a lottery tickets bag, shabby and stir up mercy in our hearts.

Poverty cannot discourage the hearts, only lack of will and love makes hearts give up and surrender. If possible, they are willing to sacrifice everything for the ones they love.

GoSchool has decided to support tuition fee in 2019-2020 for 3 of uncle Nhi’s children, whose names are Vo Huu Tinh in grade 7, Vo Huu Thang in grade 3, and Vo Huu Hon in kindergarten. GoSchool is afraid that the thin shoulders of this man may get tired, so these good and polite children have to stop studying. Hopefully, their long journey ahead will be less harsh and will meet many good, helpful people.
