The U Minh jungle region of Ca Mau is made of many rivers, streams and canals. During the monsoon season many temporary and unstable "monkey bridges" which connect remote villages are destroyed. During 2010 the Vus helped direct funding to build 10 permanent and safe bridges. School children were given bicycles on which to travel to school.
