I missed this story on Monday, but it is worth repeating. A Vietnamese publisher has donated hundreds of sleeping bags and food to the homeless in Santa Ana. What a great guy! Here is his story, from the OC Register article:
Hope for the homeless
Three hundred people get sleeping bags and meals in Santa Ana.
About 300 homeless people gathered at the Santa Ana Civic Center on Sunday and received sleeping bags and lunch provided by a small Vietnamese-American volunteer group in Westminster.
The event, organized by Khoi Quang Boi Vu, publisher of Westminster-based Ngay Mai magazine, is in its 14th year.
Vu, who immigrated to the United States from Vietnam, said this is his way of thanking Americans, who welcomed the Vietnamese who sought refuge from the communist government in their country two decades ago.
About 25 volunteers served egg rolls, noodle soup, cake and fruit for lunch.
“We love you,” Vu told the homeless gathered around him at the plaza. “You are America.”
HOW TO HELP
The group is planning to open a place in Santa Ana for the homeless to come in to shower, get a haircut and do their laundry. Those interested in contributing to this cause may contact Khoi Vo at 714-454-4571or e-mail him at vu2300@sbcglobal.net.

This is exactly the type of public/private partnerships that Trung Nguyen will spread throughout the county win when he is elected to the Board Of Supervisors!
Sure Trung will he will then steal the money just like he stole the money from the voter out reach drive when he was treasurer of that orgainization when they ran the get out the vote campaign…. Where is the $10,0000 that was left Trung?
Mr. Anon 11:27AM,
You bad man! Mr. Trung only do good thing to people. Why you no leave him alone. Stop you hate!
I guess stealing other good people’s money is good. Well if you call that good then we shall leave him alone.
If you feed and clothes the non-working homeless at the civic center. The will stay at the civic center. Smart move for Westminster (and other cities groups)
Just like fighting al-qada (sp) in Iraq, keeps them in Iraq.
I once paid a $300. fine for feeding homeless folks a brown bag lunch as part of a (TROOP DELETED)local girl scout endevour.
Aparantly some of the local realators did’nt take kindly.
