On the morning of September 15, the charity group “Willing Hearts” with nearly 15 members from many countries (UK, Russia, Australia...), with the support of the Center staff, took care of all the kitchen tasks (from preparing ingredients, cooking, distributing meals) to make lunch for nearly 400 people who are mentally ill patients... being cared for at the Center.
Accordingly, each patient receives a portion of Quang noodles that ensures hygiene and nutrition, including eggs, chicken with typical Quang spices, along with dessert and soft drink (sting).
This charity cooking activity is usually organized monthly at different locations, depending on the coordination needs of the units and this is the second time the group has implemented it at the Center. Previously, the charity group “Willing hearts” had made charity meals at several other locations such as the Maternity and Children’s Hospital, the Eye Hospital, the 199 Ministry of Public Security Hospital and even in Ho Chi Minh City.
This is a clear demonstration of compassion and humanity that transcends borders. Because they are simply long-term tourists in Vietnam, they have connected with each other and organized charitable activities to help disadvantaged patients at hospitals and centers in Da Nang City in particular and some other localities. They not only bring delicious, nutritious meals, but also spread love to the less fortunate.
Ms. Ngoc Binh - an officer of the Mental Health Center in Da Nang City said: "Currently, the Mental Health Center is managing, caring for and treating 370 extremely severe mental patients. These are social subjects with difficult circumstances. We hope to continue to receive the sharing and regular companionship of the Willing Hearts group in particular and benefactors in general to improve meals and spirits for patients, extend loving arms, and bring joy and smiles to all mental health patients."
