Volunteers are restoring the Maple riverbank in Thủ Đức; $250 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇻🇳 Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam849 views
The Maple riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 42 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 138 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $250 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $45
• Native saplings and stakes: $155
• Tools and protective gear: $50
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending love, Uyên. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
wishing you peace. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't give up.
Praying for you, Uyên. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Hang in there, Uyên. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
