Clean water and shade for Hồ Chí Minh City: restoring the Jacaranda riverbank
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Jacaranda riverbank needs $200 for saplings and equipment.
🇻🇳 Hồ Chí Minh City, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam699 views
The Jacaranda riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 93 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 180 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $200 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $35
• Tools and protective gear: $80
• Waste removal and skip hire: $85

Hang in there, Hùng. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Vadodara
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hùng?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about signage and educational materials, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
You're not alone, Hùng. Looking forward to the next update.
how is Hùng doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Hùng. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Piraeus donated after I showed her your page
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hùng.
Signage and educational materials is $35 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Take care, Hùng. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from London.
Wishing you peace, Hùng. Gave what I could, wish it was more.

hope things get better soon, Hùng. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Lucknow so I could bring a meal.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Hồ Chí Minh City. I'll ask around and let you know
Sending good thoughts, Hùng. Looking forward to the next update.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Macon.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City
