These are the articles I found about Vietnam. I am from Binh Son, Quang Ngai, Vietnam. The first article is about a $30.67 million dollar project to improve the sanitation of water in my province. It is suppose to help the rural area get cleaner water and thus avoid water prone illnesses.

Second, there is a battle about the prices of cassava, which is a root. It is mainly eaten for starch, but can also be use to make ethanol and alcohol. It is also used to feed animals, but the problem is there is a high demand for it in China too and as soon as those cassava farmers cross the boarders, the Chinese demand it for less and the Vietnamese farmers lose a lot of profit.

The last one is about how the cost of food is going up nearly 10%. That is really high in a country where most people grow their own foods and the exchange rate is really bad too.
