CLEAN RICE IN THE FOREST – LE LAN INTERNATIONAL’S JOURNEY TO SPREAD LOVE

In early April 2025, LE LAN INTERNATIONAL – a company specializing in clean rice export – collaborated with the Holy Spirit Charity Association to carry out a special charity trip to Da Tong Commune, Dam Rong District, Lam Dong Province – home to hundreds of ethnic minority households, especially the H’Mong people.

1. A difficult journey – but worthwhile

This time, the truck carrying over 1 ton of clean rice to the mountains coincided with the Hung Kings’ Memorial Day holiday, making the journey more arduous than ever.

“Clean rice grains – to reach those in need – must cross streams, overcome passes, avoid broken bridges, wait for traffic clearance.”

Challenges on the road:

  • The convoy was stuck almost throughout the route
  • Twice had to turn back and change routes due to weak wooden bridges
  • Rice arrived at the collection point 4 hours later than planned

But what remained unchanged was the wholehearted dedication.

Sleepless night for clean rice:

At 2 AM, the highland weather was bitterly cold, with rain. A driver, two women, and a 12-year-old boy persisted in moving each 50kg rice bag to a dry place to “keep it clean until the last minute.” No one complained, because everyone understood: those rice grains were being “brought to the people.”

2. Sowing seeds of love in the great forest

LE LAN INTERNATIONAL and benefactors prepared and donated:

ItemQuantityNotes

Children’s gifts600 setsCandy, teddy bears, books, warm clothes
Household gifts100 setsClean rice and necessities
Community exchange1 dayCooking, playing with ethnic boarding students

Everyone came from different places, with their own stories – but shared one wish: to share.

3. Clean rice – Pearl grains connecting communities

LE LAN INTERNATIONAL is not merely a rice-selling business. We tell stories – about clean rice grains, about pure hearts, and about the journey of “making rice with heart.”

We believe that: each clean rice grain, if it reaches the right place – will not only nourish bodies but also nurture hope.

4. If you’re looking for a journey to accompany us…

…join us in sowing seeds of love on new paths. Because Vietnam still has many hilltops that have never had a complete meal. There are still hundreds of children who have never been named in a holiday gift.
