A labor of love and result of many contributors. We would like to thank our wonderful friends Annabel Nguyen and Eleonora Ronconi for their contributions. Without Eleonora's sacrifice we would not have such vibrant photos to share. Eleonora is as beautiful, talented, and brave as she is generous. Thanks to Annabel, without whose superb design skills and tremendous patience our magazine would not have been such a dynamic showcase of FHF and the people we have been able to make an impact upon.

We maintain a Childrens\' Shelter and Vocational Learning Center in Thua Thien Hue Province and provide basic medical care to rural communities in the Central area of Vietnam. All U.S.-based staff serve as unpaid volunteers, and all proceeds from this show will go directly to our Children\'s Shelter.
"; /* s += "Two little girls were about to be sold into Laos in February of this year. We intervened in time and took them to our children's shelter. They are now well cared for by our devoted house mothers and enjoy going to school along with their other adopted brothers and sisters. Three weeks ago, we took in a boy who was severely mentally and physically abused by his mentally disabled sister to the point that he had to wander the streets to escape the beatings. Last September, we opened our door to 10 children who suffered all kind of tragedies in life. Their stories would bring tears to your eyes.
"; s += "All of this started in the wake of the 1999 great flood in Central Vietnam, when a group of local San Jose volunteers decided to establish a shelter for children whose parents did not survive the natural disaster. Since then, the shelter has become a great haven for orphans and disadvantaged children who seek for a better life. Thanks to your continuing support, we now raise a family of 43 happy and beautiful children. For $1 a day, you can give love, care, and education to one of our children.
"; s += "Our work does not stop at the children's shelter. With the generous help from East Meets West Foundation, we have finished building a vocational training center designed to take in more disadvantaged children--those who have parents but suffer extreme poverty. This is our effort to reduce the number of children who would otherwise become prey to human traffickers. For $100, you can help a child become self-sufficient and stay out of the risk of human trafficking.
"; s += "Not only we help the children in Thua Thien Hue, but we also extend our care to children in other more remote areas such as A Luoi, Huong Tra, Phu Loc, Huong Thuy, Quang Dien, Phong Dien, Phu Van, Boat Villages, etc. Every month we send a mobile medical clinic to rural places in the needy areas of Central Vietnam. Our team normally is comprised of volunteered doctors, nurses, and medical students from different nations. We provide free medical check ups, medications, vaccinations, as well as screening forchildren with serious medical conditions. For those who need further medical attention, we refer them to Hue Hospital and pay for part of their medical costs and traveling expenses. People from those villages we stopped by anxiously wait for our return. They gather in flocks since very early morning waiting every time we return. We serve from 350 to 500 people on each trip. For only $350, you can sponsor one of these trips and help hundreds of people.
"; s += "We also help children who need open-heart surgery. Currently, we have 5 children who are waiting on the list. We work with East Meets West Foundation to help these children. For $1,000, you will give one of these children a new chance to life. Please see their profiles attached.
"; s += "Central Vietnam is very vulnerable to natural disasters. Last year, Typhoon Xangsane literally left thousand of families without a roof over their heads. We responded in time to provide them with roof replacement materials and blankets to help them rebuild their homes immediately.
"; s += "Who are we? We are just like you. The Friends of Hue Foundation (www.friendsofhue.org) is comprised of individuals who care. We come from different walks of life.

On the 11th of October,2006, FHF organized the distribution of 1,280 cement-metal sheets (worth $2,000US) for 64 families with collapsed houses in villages of LocVinh (14 families), Loc Binh (10 families), LocTien (10 families), LocDien (10 families), LocAn (10 families) and LangCo (10 families), each in the PhuLoc District of Thua Thien Hue Province. Each family received 20 pieces of cement-metal sheet (worth 500.000dvn=$31.44US per family) to repair their houses. Before carrying out the program, FHF consulted with the local People's Committees of 6 communes and Thua Thien Hue's Red Cross in order to select the 64 families, out of a total of 603 suffering severe home damage, to assist. Selection was based on financial need.

After finishing the distribution, the assisted villagers and the local authorities from the six communes thanked us for the timely support of FHF. Our assistance enables the villagers in rebuilding their houses and returning to a stable life.
