ASPIRATION FOR LIFE
Mother HuynhTieu Huong
Adversity can immerge the weak, the pessimistic but become the driving force to help the more powerful or motivated people to affirm their own will and energy. And Ms. Huynh Tieu Huong, founder and director of Que Huong Humanitarian Center, in Tan Long Quarter, Tan Dong Hiep Ward, Di An Town, Binh Duong Province is such a person. From her childhood dates, when she left abandoned by her own parents, she had to live with the people that she thinks her grandparents, uncles and aunts. And she was constantly beaten, and tortured. And later on, she was wandering, leading an uncertain life to make / earn her living and suffered from constant persecution but all of these can not destroy the strong vitality of a skinny, weak, and pale person as she is.
Being in the prime of youth, Tieu Huong kept living through such the dates of “as bitter and miserable as death” when she has been done harm, and bullied by the aggressive thugs, the “cold blood” pimps and the “blue beard” ogres for several times. More toxically and ruthlessly, they repeatedly showed their ability to “kill” her for several times to hide their crimes. But, as a miracle, the fragile, and weak Tieu Huong was being against their plots and tricks fiercely. In spite of the slightest hope, Tieu Huong still managed to grab to be lived, to reach the light of life, leaving behind (her back) the darkness, and the mud which are always waiting to engulf her. Moreover, thanks to her smart, agile, fluent, and innovative nature, Tieu Huong became a “giant” in the 1990s, with thousands of square meters of land, from 4 to 5 houses and dozens of cars for rent. Also from here, the path of light, and the horizon of happiness step by step appeared in the mind of young entrepreneur Huynh Tieu Huong and urged her to act immediately, as if she only had one day to live, to work and dedicate her services; It is to make many charitable benefactions to help the poor, and unhappy.
Over 20 years getting out of her comford zone to be devoting her life to the humanitarian pursuit / cause, especially since the establishment of Que Huong Humanitarian Center in 2001 so far, for several times has Tieu Huong been posed the same questions from various friends, journalists, and leaders from the central and local agencies and organizations: Why has she accepted to trade the wealth life, freedom, comfort, and happiness of a successful woman for the whole lifespan’s hardship and anxiety of a single mother with hundreds of innocent children? Why has she been willing to sacrifice to trade her own prime of youth and beauty as well as her personal happiness for other people’s children? Why has she had to spend all the saved-up capital and wealth for the job of which many people think as mad and crazy? … Despite dozens of years glided by, even thousands of the same questions posed to her, people often get the only answer from her: Tieu Huong wants to save the life of the poorly, unclaimed conditions, so that life does not have the second, the third, and more Tieu Huong as she used to be…
When adopting these abandoned lives to be brought up by Que Huong Shelter and becoming their mother, the first thing Huynh Tieu Huong thought is that she is to offer these children a condition, as kind and decent as other normal children. Being not able-bodied, or perfect, and there is nothing to be proud of, but at least, these children have to be registered a birth to know their age; had the Huynh surname of Tieu Huynh mother to know that they are lucky enough to have a kind, and generous mother; Also, they have been put into the family record book of Que Huong family to know from where they have grown up… Thus, whenever the family has a new member, the staff in the Center’s HR and Administration Department are again busy with the child’s birth registration, and put it into the family record book of Que Huong family, from having the news posted on newspapers and been on radio and televioon stations to seek for their relatives, reporting to the local authorities about adopting the abandoned child, to having some necessay procedures completed so that the child can have its birth certificate in the possible shortest time. It’s very important, not only for themselves but also for Tieu Huong’s mother. Because birth registration is a key turning point, opening up a new life, and new future for the children in Que Huong Shelter. The birth registration is also a necessary and sufficient condition for these children to be registered in the family record book of Huynh family. As of Tieu Huong mother, only when these above–mentioned procedures have been completed, she feels at ease about the child to care about other matters. Facing the initial difficulties of the dossiers, procedures, papers, but thanks to the active assistance and support of various levels of the local authorities, now all of her children have have the surname of Huynh, the middle name of Tieu (or Little) in their names and their names have been written in the thickest and longest family record book at her address: 17/15/11A Go Dau, Tan Quy Ward, Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City. In 2010, the household register of Huynh Tieu Huong family set the record, which was recorded by Vietnam Record Organization. The record was called “The owner has the thickest and longest household register in Vietnam”, with its thickness of 2 cms and its length of over 3 meters, in which the number of registers with the surname of Huynh and the middle name of Tieu from 1999 to 2010 is over 160. So far, the registers have rosen tremendously. As of her, this record has been not only the joy, and the pride but also the worry and the burden accompanied and weighed down on her small shoulders over the years…
After the anxiety of birth registration and household register, the mother of hundreds of children is always hauntingly worried about giving these children full board and lodging. Therefore, she has poured whatever she had saved and accumulated into building housing and classrooms for her children. Since the early days of the newly founded Que Huong Humanitarian Center, its facilities were very inadequate. At that time, these children’s living place and activities are only in the rows of thatched houses, temporarily built on the area of 2,100 sqare meters. But until now, the area of Que Huong center has been expanded to 12,000 square meters, with such the full infrastructure as: a dining-room, kindergarten rooms, vocational training rooms, separate housing for boys and girls, playground, the gallery to display late General Vo Nguyen Giap, the temple of Huynh Family …. Particularly, in 2016, Que Huong Center completed and put into use Que Huong preschool, primary school and Junior High School as well as received the 2nd new facility in the 3rd Hamlet, Ham Tan, Binh Thuan from Duc Khai Joint Stock Company and inaugurated the 3rd facility in Tan An, Vinh Cuu, Dong Nai to further open up many life-changing chances to some unhappy lives.
Not only has she been offering these children decent and full board and lodging, but mother Huynh Tieu Huong also aims at the overriding concern over these children‘s future and study so that they can well grow up, don’t feel a complex about their own conditions, and won’t be the society’s burden. Thus, the children who normally grow up often go to local schools to study in the community to integrate with their peers. So far, almost 100 children have been studying in these local schools. As if to compensate for the anxiety always weighing down on the mother’s shoulders, most of them are very good, and have their good records. The awards, the medals, and the certificates of satisfactory progress brought back the Center by these children are the priceless gifts, and the great source of spiritual encouragement to help her have further joy and motivation to step forward along with these children. The disabled children will study at the center. In particular, those who wish to study trade will be given the chance to learn cars’ repairing, sewing, point-acupuncturing, bead-knitting, art … thanks to their mother’s help. From Que Huong Shelter, many children have recently grown up and integrated into the community life. She also helped over 4,000 children – already been raised and grown up in the Center – have their permanent jobs in Taiwanese companies and businesses, P&G, VMEP companies and so on. The more attached and informative we stay to the operation of Que Huong Humanitarian Center, the more we feel the satisfaction of the children living here. Under the possible conditions, Tieu Huong mother always tries to bring a full and happy life to have these children’s comlex of being orphans released. With the endless love for her children, now, the mother has been going all-out to keep carrying out the dream works for her children: that is the eco-tourism area, the Cultural Village of “Aspiration for Life” … It is believed that, with her passion, with the love for her children and the joint efforts of the social community, Huynh Tieu Huong is going to complete these dream works for her children, uplifting their young wings to fly far and high towards the bright horizons down the road… /.
