#SaveSonDoong was founded as a campaign to save the pristine charm of the world’s largest cave from mass tourism. But overtime, this citizen-led campaign started to carry more just the mission of saving one cave. In this talk, Lê Nguyễn Thiên Hương, one of the co-founders of #SaveSonDoong will reveal to you what its ultimate goal is actually about.
Jesus,
“Perfect love casts out fear.
Fear of loss,
fear of alienation,
fear of rejection,
fear of mutual control.
Where there is love
there are no demands,
no expectations,
no dependency.”* Continue reading Prayer 491
Hi sisters and brothers,
I comment about Acts 1:15-20, and Judas Iscariot.
Acts is the fifth book of the New Testament, after the four Gospels. Acts tells things that apostles of Jesus Christ did after Jesus was executed. Acts 1 means Chapter 1 of Acts.
Acts 1:15-20 is the paragraph Peter told about Judas.
Peter – Saint Peter – was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. He was also the “Apostle of the Apostles”. Continue reading My Judas

FROM THE OUTSIDE Nha Hang Lang Nghe, in Danang, looks like any other respectable restaurant in Vietnam. Tables are invitingly laid out in the shade of a lush garden, and festive traditional art lines attractive brick walls. Families laugh over hot pots, and businessmen clink glasses.

One of the most urgent requirements of public health is to protect people from the risks of smoking as tobacco-related diseases claim more than 40,000 lives in Vietnam every year.
There are five major diseases of the 25 tobacco-related illnesses lung cancer, gastrointestinal-respiratory cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart attack, and stroke.
Jesus,
Please comfort the souls of people without a mother.
Please comfort the souls of my dad and my mom,
persons without a mother.
Wishing all souls be peace in you.
Amen.

HANOI (Reuters) – Vietnam’s crackdown on high level corruption has led to the arrest of dozens of officials from state oil firm PetroVietnam and the banking sector.

As well as shedding light on graft, mismanagement and nepotism within state firms at a time privatization is accelerating, the arrests show the ascendancy of a more conservative faction within the ruling Communist Party.
Jesus,
My dreams?
My dreams are the dreams of my beloveds.

HANOI (Reuters) – A court in Vietnam on Monday jailed a former deputy governor of the central bank for three years, his lawyer said, the most senior banking official put on trial in the Southeast Asian nation amid a crackdown on corruption.
Vietnam’s banking system was rocked in the early 2010s by a string of mismanagement scandals and under-regulated lending, and is still reeling from nonperforming loans.
The 10 rivers that carry 93 percent of that trash are the Yangtze, Yellow, Hai, Pearl, Amur, Mekong, Indus and Ganges Delta in Asia, and the Niger and Nile in Africa. The Yangtze alone dumps up to an estimated 1.5 million metric tons of plastic waste into the Yellow Sea.

Our seas are choking on plastic. A staggering eight million metric tons wind up in oceans every year, and unraveling exactly how it gets there is critical. A recent study estimates that more than a quarter of all that waste could be pouring in from just 10 rivers, eight of them in Asia.
Jesus,
How to get inspired to write daily?
Inspiration is you.
I focus on you,
I get inspired to write daily.
And you are who you are.
You are everywhere.
You are in everyone.
You are in everything.
I have so many things to write.
Love you, Jesus.
Amen.

VietNamNet Bridge – The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) is building up a plan on removing the governing mechanism to be applied on a trial basis at three universities.
Three schools try the non-governing mechanism
However, leaders of the schools admitted they still do not know what they must do.
The removal of the governing mechanism was mentioned many years ago. Resolution No 14 in 2005 on reforming Vietnam’s tertiary education in the 2006-2020 period stipulates that Vietnam will ‘remove the governing body mechanism’ and build up the ‘state ownership representative mechanism’ for state-owned universities.
Jesus,
I love every Saturday.
Saturday is your day.
I don’t work on Saturday.
I spend all Saturday with you.
Sharing with you about my wishes.
Asking you to help our new projects.
Traveling with you…
The closer I get to you,
the better I feel.
Love you, Jesus.
Amen.

Having reluctantly stumbled upon poetry translation at the age of 14, Minh Quan takes us on his journey through the world of translation explaining how it helped him to broaden his notion of Vietnamese culture, offering a bridge between him and the past, and how it can help others do the same as well.
Minh Quan Do, a student at United Nations International School of Hanoi (UNIS), is an aspiring poet and translator of poetry. He has been working for a series of years on projects involving translation of poetry and crafting original works. His current project, “Gained In Translation,” seeks to explore the effect of translation on language and meaning through a process called back-translation.
