For nearly three years, Hue Thuong, a free vegetarian eatery on Ngo The Lan Street in Phu Xuan Ward, has prepared over 200 meals daily for people in difficult circumstances.

Taking advantage of calm seas, fishermen in coastal communes such as the former Phu Dien, Vinh Thanh, and Vinh Xuan communes, now part of Phu Vinh Commune, have been heading out to sea to catch seafood and earn extra income. Although the catch is not as abundant as during the main fishing season, the ‘bounty of the sea’ is still enough to provide them with hearty meals.
