Following is the list of donations for Chong Kneas poorest families I received before my trip: + $100.00 from Quan Vu, TrekEarth friend + $100.00 from Johnny Ho, friend of NgocSon + $100.00 from Nicoleta Gramada, TrekEarth friend + $100.00 from Lien Tong, Alcon + $50.00 from Christine Le, TrekEarth friend + $50.00 from Loi Duong, Alcon + $40.00 from Cuong Le, Alcon + $30.00 from DiemLe Nguyen, Alcon + $30.00 from Tinh On, Alcon + $20.00 from Le Nguyen, Alcon + $20.00 from Lilian Nguyen, Alcon + $20.00 from Nga Vu, Alcon On 2-21-2007, I left Houston for China with the amount of $660.00. While I was in Hue, Phong Nguyen, friend of NgocSon, contacted me asking if he still have time to contribute. I said yes, waiting for 24 hours, and his donation reached me in Vietnam in the amount of $200.00. At this point, Thai Nguyen, my nephew added $40.00 to round up the fund and volunteered to accompany me to Chong Kneas by his own expense. As I clarified before the trip, I will not include any money of my own into the combined fund and I will not share the credit for this humanitarian work. If I contribute a dollar, I cannot publicize the use of donations, "don't let the left hand know what the right hand does." Instead, I stayed off the charitable donation and declared that 100% of the fund will reach poor people. My "business" is to cover all the behind-the-scene expense (traveling, food, lodging and transportation of rice). However, Mai-Quyen from Canada paypaled me US$100.00 with the condition that she wanted to shoulder some of my burden from my extended trip from Vietnam to Cambodia—not a donation to Chong Kneas recipients. So, the total amount I accepted to transfer to Chong Kneas is US$900.00 or 3,645,000.00 Cambodian riel. On behalf of the recipients, thank you, thank you! .
