The Time to Invest

By Colleen | Published January 25, 2014

On Thursday, the class met in the sunlit courtyard of the home we stayed in the Mekong Delta to reflect on the issues we’ve witnessed with Vietnamese society. Countless ideas were mentioned, from improving public education and infrastructure to expanding the credit system and public transportation. These systems are basic components to American society, yet they are seen as luxuries in Vietnam. This leads us to the question: why hasn’t the government stepped up to fix these issues? It is well understood that the Vietnamese government lacks funds to support these endeavors. Yet, the United States and other leading economies of the world face debts in the trillions of dollars. Essentially, it seems that Vietnam could boost its economy by investing in the issues mentioned. Just putting effort into one of these endeavors would cause a ripple effect of productivity. If the government funded the pavement of highways, people would have greater access to schools in nearby towns which allows for a more educated society. And more educated people would find ways to enhance government processes and improve the credit system. Many steps must be taken to ensure that this sequence runs efficiently and beneficially for the Vietnamese people.

Although the government is lacking action towards these issues (as far as I can tell), Vietnamese women seem to have serious ambition in improving their livelihood. For example, the Women’s Union supports a small business in the Mekong Delta where 13 women from nearby farmlands who need extra financial support for their families make purses and journals to sell to tourists. The business must be small to remain profitable even though 70 women are constantly waiting for a position to open. Initiatives such as this business show that Vietnamese women are motivated to improve their lives and challenge the status quo of poverty. While in Vietnam, we have visited various small businesses and nonprofits that work towards improving society. I have realized that the people of Vietnam are hard workers and a determined group of individuals. With such a strong society, it is inevitable that demands will be made for government investment in the countless issues mentioned previously. The country must sacrifice funds in order to see the positive returns that Vietnam so desperately needs.
