A 15-year-old boy in Yen Bai Province is struggling to cope with the loss of both parents and siblings in the recent floods.

  

The flood swept away Vinh's house by Thia stream.


A flood swept away three houses on Thia Stream and killed Hoang Van Vinh's parents and two of his siblings. His mother was eight months pregnant at the time.

Vinh's parents got married 15 years ago and were able to build a house thanks to their relatives and local authorities. His parents worked in the rice field. Vinh helped out at the rice field then went to Bac Giang Province with his uncle to work as a bricklayer last year.

Hoang Van Phuc, Vinh's grandfather, said, "We're also poor and can't help them. Vinh has never been able to go to school."

When the house was swept away, Vinh was still in Bac Giang Province. He and his uncle immediately returned home after receiving the news on October 11. His father's body was found on the next day but his mother and siblings are still missing.


  

Vinh has never gone to school.

Ha Duc Bay, chairman of Phuc Son Commune People's Committee, said, "Vinh's family is one of the commune's poorest households for many years. We've tried to help them but they couldn't escape poverty."

Most of the locals are from Thai ethnic group. Traditional funerals which can cost tens of millions of VND. According to Vinh's relatives, the family killed at least three pigs for his father's funeral. However, they will not have enough money for other member's funerals.
