I just hope she does help the people he left behind have a better life.

She said: "I want to protect the interests of children, especially where women's rights, but abused, they want to help people with her world in their abilities ..."

Ladies and gentlemen, to their sick as now, property is no longer, and, again left alone to take care for more than two hundred orphans and disabled, she said the Center is now having a lot of difficulties . Or she:

Huynh Tieu Huong

Children Doan Van Duy, 18 this year, having "mother Perfume" at age 14, said: "Currently, they are learning barber. They found that mothers Tieu Huong is a very kindness, love them for all children, parents help their children get a job very well, because outside of Nam Dinh, family is very difficult. "

Huynh Quoc Minh with his own, a boy living life on the dusty streets in the past, Huynh Tieu Huong was received as children adopted and named for then confided

"I remember that about 11 children, 12 years old, she sold bread to, the plight of children like her, no houses, sisters selling each other ... when they have sold close to each other, sometimes the distance, she is .. and then when you trade-in her city is the child she brought his wife, raising children and vocational training for children to change the car, driving, all exhibitors lum.

When you go to work and then they are no longer in the children with her again, but her sister still in touch with each other. Without her, the life they do not know how she will again, her heart, she will never forget, thanks to her life that she now hit a new support.

The first day she met her impossible to forget, at that night, she sold bread has not expired, they took in the children of people pay for them, they do not know how, she read the very sad sitting Perfume to, and at that part of her fever, she sold out to go save. From there, you feel great affection and endear her, she should never forget, in the heart of children to always remember her. "
