The following brief article will give you an impression of what the Fisher Village is : " The Red River is the biggest river in Vietnam. The delta is located in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. The city continues to expand with many people coming from the countryside into the urban area. This however, is an expensive endeavor with the government imposing a tax on people coming from the rural area to prevent a massive influx of people. Some people decide, however, to come despite this financial situation and thus must live in house boats at the river to escape from having to pay. Since they do not technically live in Hanoi they must pay for school which is usually free until the age of 12. The entire family must work hours that most people would consider inhumane. The children wander the streets begging and collecting rubbish. An entire family barely makes 2$ a day."
People live in boats on Red river come from many poor rural of Viet Nam. All of them are very poor and have no job in their hometown. They come to city with their hopeful to get a job and can earn more money for their life, families and children but in fact that in city everything is expensive and it is not easy to have a job which give them money so they have to try do everything to have money enough a day such as collect rubbish on the street, dumping ground, be carrier in Long Bien market, etc. They do not have enough money to rent a flat or house on the land in city so they made boats on the Red River by rubbish. Their boats are short-lived and unreliable but they do not have enough money for food so how they can have money to repair your boats? That is reason for us to organize a special work camp to help them repair their “house”.
The Youth House School is one of the bigest and oldest project of SJ Vietnam. It 's a small education center for disadvantaged street children managed with the financial support of the French Student organization "Un ETAI pour le Vietnam". The volunteers who work here teach around 10 children everyday. They also have to cook lunch for the children and clean the Youth House together. Remember, the children are not used to rules and structure in their households, so volunteers must try to implement this by setting an example. The Youth House is also a place where young local people and international volunteers come to explore the cultural diversity, by teaching the children together or organizing leisure activities, such as taking the children to the swimming pool.
We combine these activities with projects to help disadvantaged people at Fisher Village who are very poor and live in slum-boats on the Red river. We do this by giving them food, medicine, water filters (for clean drinking water), toothpaste, second-hand warm clothes and free showers in winter, etc.
