Never Give Up in Helping Others


I am still homeless in HCM Saigon. What should I do tonight? My last landlord in District 1 told the tenants of that building to move. Last week, moved to District 3 but this new owner has no license to host foreigners. I'm usually staying up all night outside now. I do not want to spend any money at a hotel tonight. Add me. Share this. Tell your friends. I have been an American English Teacher in Vietnam for free since 2012. My email OriginalOatmeal@Gmail.com.

His students pay money and feed him also. But people just want to help poor people who really have no money, they are children, women, old people not a strong and young man. Joey, u need chance your mind.

Thật ra anh bạn Joey này có thể tìm một công việc dạy tiếng Anh phù hợp ở Sài Gòn này mà. Còn về chỗ ở, mình nghĩ không phải là không có nhưng có lẽ anh ấy chưa tìm được nơi phù hợp thôi.

2 hrs · Like · 1GiáoViên JoeyOatmeal Hoahuongduong Hoa Hướng Dương, please do not say things that are not totally true. Sometimes, people give me money. Sometimes, people buy me food. however, most of the time, people do not give me any money at all. Most of the time, people do not want to give me money.

Most of the time, students only want to learn English for free. Plus, people misunderstand some of the details. I am really sad and angry when people misrepresent me.

My life is dedicated to helping people. I was helping the homeless children for a year in rEVOLution HAWAII. I try my best to help people whenever I can. Unfortunately, people are not aware of everything I do. Most o the time, I do not tell people what I do. It is very sad when people make assumptions and premature judgements about me that are not totally accurate.

Again, most of my students do not give me money. Some of my students may give me some money. Some students may give me more. But it all depends and each person and day is different. I spend money sometimes but I want to be careful.

Early in 2013 at times, I was spending around $5 (100.000 VND) or more per day on food. The problem is that I sometimes make less $5 a week sometimes. I was making no money at all in Vietnam for over 8 different months even. I save money so that I can last through the famines of no work and money. Sometimes, there are droughts that occur sometimes.

I also want to pay back my $3,500 USD student loan. I want to have emergency money. I want to have money saved in the bank. I want to buy better laptops, camcorders, clothes, houses, cars, bikes, and so many things. Maybe get a GF someday and buy her gifts. Maybe send money to friends and family. Maybe send money to homeless people all around the world and other charities. maybe use money to start my own charities, hobbies, make films, etc. Life is so short and I want to do so many things. 

That is why I skip meals and starve and I try my best saving money. I make sacrifices because I believe in making the world better one oatmeal at a time.

1 hr · Like · 2PA Nguyễn maybe they didnt realize ,but i appreciate what u've done for charities by teaching for free,i hope u'll be help & overcome this challenging 
59 mins · LikeOh Oatmeal PA Nguyễn, I do not teach for free. People just do not always give me money. There is a difference.

I think the matter is you dont say what u want. You can open a class with cheap fee for learners. That's the good way for u and learners. U can earn money, save it. The learners have to be more responsible for what they pay and get English skills from u.

31 mins · Like · 1Oh Oatmeal Rau Muống Xào Tỏi, I want to help people. Many times, people to say, "We are students and we do not have a lot of money." I do not want to deny people education. i want to help people who cannot afford proper education. I do not want to be so greedy and selfish. I do not want to turn people away and deny them help because they cannot help me. That is not charity. That is not good.
25 mins · Like · 1Thu Le Teaching with cheap fee is the best way to have a minimum living standards.
8 mins · LikeRau Muống Xào Tỏi _ You wanna help people, that's ok. But STUDENTS now in Sai Gon is not even the poor at all. You can see them enjoy their time in some coffee shops, pubs, restaurants... I dont say ALL THE STUDENTS is poor and dont have a lot of money, but some. You can not consider these kinds of people are poor and you teach them FOR FREE.
_ As I told u above, you can open a class with cheap fee at a coffee shops or in a park, it's up to you. I DONT THINK students are so poor that they have no at least 15.000 or 20.000 VND for an hour studying English with an American. This fee is just the same with a cheap glass of coffee or milk tea in some pubs. 
You are kind-hearted. Great, but you have to live. You need to seperate essentially charities and earning for your life, dear.

7 mins · Edited · Like · 1Oh Oatmeal Rau Muống Xào Tỏi, I need help with finding more students. I just need help with finding more students. I take donations. How much people give me is up to them. if they like me then they can give me more and if they do not then they can give me less. If they really do not like me, then they do not have to give me any money. If they really hate me, maybe I can give them some money maybe. I want to try to be as fair as possible for people. Some people have more money and can give more and some have less money.
