Designer Thuan Viet and some friends went to the garden in Hoc Mon to cut water spinach when they learned that people intended to donate it to kitchens serving the anti-epidemic work and supporting people in difficult circumstances. Because the water spinach fields are located deep inside, large vehicles cannot enter, so his group finished cutting, put them in bags, then transported them by motorbike to the main road and then transferred them to the center of Ho Chi Minh City. His acquaintances and friends in Ben Tre also sent many foods such as fruits, chicken eggs, duck eggs... for him to do charity. Up to now, designer Thuan Viet's group has supported two tons of water spinach for kitchens in hospitals and charity organizations.
