Despite taking place in the days of the storm No. 09 landing on the mainland, causing heavy rain in most of the central provinces, the charity trip to support the people in the border district of Da Krong (Quang Tri Province) was still held according to the expected plan - from October 28 to October 30, 2020.
The charity trip brought nearly 100 gifts including money, warm clothes, essential food and the hearts of Rivera Invest employees to the people in the most difficult days. The entire cost of the trip is deducted from the contribution equivalent to one day's salary of all staff and employees and a part of the Company's budget for charity activities.
Although it is not one of the places that suffer the most damages during the record floods in October, with the characteristics of sloping terrain, rapid flooding and heavy rainfall, the people here also suffered many damages in the recent historic flood. The lives of the people in Da Krong for many years have been still difficult and hard.
The journey to Da Krong people of the Rivera Invest charity team crossed through many hilly, winding roads; many landslide points are still being handled by functional units to reconnect traffic and open roads for the hearts of the people in the lowlands to the people in the uplands to share wit them, overcome difficulties and soon stabilize their lives.

His life is still full of hardships and deprivations.
