A Vietnamese man has chosen to follow the newest agricultural trend which guarantees both profit and quality, with human health always in his mind. While most villagers in Son La Province, located in northwestern Vietnam, still rely heavily on pesticides when growing vegetables and fruits, 30-year-old Vu Xuan Thanh pioneers clean agriculture practices with his organic crops. The Na San region, near Son La’s airport, is where Thanh’s orange garden is located. Customers are often invited to visit, observe, and acquaint themselves with clean agricultural practices that are becoming Thanh’s values to guarantee safety and quality of the goods he sells.

Giao has maintained the habit for quite a long time, giving a large number of uniforms to poor students.

At first he sent them washed hand-me-downs collected from his own family and neighbors but later spent part of his retirement pension and money his children gave him on making clothes for the students himself, using sewing skills he learned from imitating professional … [Read more...] about ​Elderly Vietnamese man spends two decades sewing free uniforms for poor students
