Written by Kelly Vo, BeCause’s Country Director
We left Saigon on Friday night, arrived Cam Ranh at 6am Saturday morning, my friend’s father picked us up at location and took us to his house, we had a little rest, their family is very nice, welcomed us with tea & breakfast. They also borrowed us motorbikes, the father even carried one of us by his motorbike to Thanh Son School, because we had 5 person and only 2 motorbikes.
We started leaving after half of hour resting, took us another three and half hours to get Khanh Son town, we found a motel and left our stuffs there, then went to have lunch & coffee. After that, we left for Thanh Son School, when we get there, it was 12pm and Saturday, no schools, we needed to wait for Thay Suc and teachers, they came back their house for lunch. However, had someone opened the door for us, we waited inside the library.

At 1.30pm, Thay Suc & a few teachers finally arrived, we started the interview about water systems & library project, according to Thay Suc, everyone is very satisfied with the water systems, It not only benefits the kids but also surrounding community, people can bring their big plastic bottle to school, get the water back to their house for daily uses. Kid’s parents are very happy because their kids are now able to access the clean water. However, Thay Suc mentioned something happened to the water, the teachers realized tea made by filtered water quickly turned to brown color than usual. They were quite worried, so they contacted MK company, and get confirmed from MK that water from the systems contain some elements which soften the water thru filtering process, and makes the taste little more sweeter than normal water, but it is totally fine & no side effects. But, they are still worried, Thay Suc is planning to bring water sample to quality test department to check the result, also asks us to clarify this issue with MK because he is very concerned it could affect the kids’ health. [BeCause team has followed up with MK, the water system installer, and they have confirmed the water quality is fine and the color is normal. There is no harm in the filtered water. Usually the filter-water or mineral water taste is a little different from normal water directly from the faucet.]
In term of library project, the space is big enough, clean & organized. I explained to them the reason why we require someone who will be taking care of the project, and they all agree with our suggestions.
After discussion, we went to see & play with the kids, took pictures with them. Then said goodbye to everyone. Left the school at 3.45pm, came back to the motel, took a rest. At night we all had a dinner together at the motel, we treated my friend’s father a nice dinner because he had been helping us a lot. Sunday morning, we drove back to Cam Ranh, returned the motorbikes. There only buses from Cam Ranh/Nha Trang to Saigon in evening times, therefore, we decided to spend a little in Nha Trang since we were not far from it, took a Phuong Trang bus to Nha Trang, stayed there till 8pm, get the bus from Nha Trang and back to Saigon on Morning early morning. Trip Completed!
