Saigon, Vietnam, 23 August 2021 -- During the days of living through the situation of blockade and isolation because of the pandemic, the families of migrant workers in Saigon have had to live in fear and with serious food shortages.

In the situation of being unemployed for a long time, they had almost no money for daily expenses, especially milk for children.

In that difficult situation, they had to ask for and be supported with food by various volunteer groups, especially religious orders, including Salesian communities.

The epidemic situation is getting more and more serious. Therefore, we pray for Vietnam in general and for Saigon in particular. In God, we hope the pandemic will end soon, so that the Vietnamese people, especially young people and children, can soon return to a peaceful life.
