Letter to visit you

Hoa Binh, August 5, 2000

      Dear Hong,

      My name is Quach Tuan Luong, a student of class 4B at Cu Chinh Lan Primary School, Hoa Binh town. Today, reading the Young Pioneers newspaper, I was very touched to know that Hong's father had died in the recent flood. I am sending you this letter of condolences.

      Oh, Hong!

      I understand how painful and disadvantaged Hong is when Hong's father is gone forever. But surely Hong is also proud of the brave example of his father who sacrificed his life to save people in the midst of flood water. I believe that following her father's example, Hong will overcome this pain. Besides Hong, there are moms, aunts and even new friends like me.

      In recent days, in my ward and throughout the town, there is a movement to raise money to support people to overcome natural disasters. Our school has also organized a donation of school supplies to help flood victims. Personally, I send Hong all the money I have given up tubes for many years. Hong received it for me!

      Good luck Hong. Looking forward to receiving your letter.

                                                                 Hong's new friend

                                                                Quach Tuan Luong
