Ho Chi Minh City workers fall prey to loan sharks
================================================== ==

Workers in Ho Chi Minh City are forced to borrow from loan sharks at usurious rates of interest that sometimes reach 30 percent a month.

The failure to pay in time means a penal interest and beatings by gangs working for the moneylenders.

Your correspondent went disguised as a worker and asked a woman lender living near the Vinh Loc Industrial Park in Hoc Mon District for a loan for paying rent.

She was reluctant, saying she only lent to regular borrowers.

But when I told her that I knew an associate of hers, she checked before asking me with a smile how much I wanted. The interest rate would be 10 percent a month.

“There is no paperwork. All I need is your signature. Since you come recommended by my associate, I’ve got all the information about you already.”

She handed over VND1 million (US$50) and asked me to sign in a notebook filled with other signatures.

There are four other loan sharks lurking around Vinh Loc Industrial Park, who charge 10 to 12 percent a month.

There are four or five such illegal lenders in the area near Tan Binh Industrial Park in Tan Phu District.

“The loan sharks know that workers badly need money and have no other choice,” Thu Hong, a worker at the Tan Binh Industrial Park, said to explain the exorbitant interest rates that could climb to 30 percent a month.

Hung, a loan broker near Binh Duong Industrial Park in Binh Duong, told Tuoi Tre that workers can borrow up to VND20 million ($1,000) at 15 percent a month from lenders.

The area has many loan sharks but workers need Hung’s recommendation to borrow from them.

Some operate even inside industrial parks.

Nguyen Thi Hoa, who works for Nam Yang sewing company at the Song May Industrial Park in Dong Nai, said some workers in her company had become moneylenders.
Workers can hardly pay off

In June 2010 D.Y.N, a worker at the Binh Duong-based VSIP Industrial Park, borrowed VND5.5 million ($275) from a lender at 10.5 percent. After twice paying the monthly interest of VND600,000, N. could no longer afford it.

With the lender putting pressure on her to pay, she had to hide from him.

But in April this year the lender caught up with her and demanded VND14 million ($700), including a fine, failing which he threatened to cut off her ear.

Fortunately for her, the police arrested the lender.

A man working at the Tan Tao Industrial Park in Tan Phu was assaulted by a gang hired by the lender for failing to repay a VND1 million loan he had taken from a loan shark. The gang also threatened to cut off his limbs if he did not clear the debt soon.

Duc Truong, a worker at the Vinh Loc Industrial Park, said workers had no choice but to borrow from the loan sharks, especially when their company paid their salary late.

“Once a worker borrows from a lender, they have to borrow from others to pay the [first] lender in time. And they are stuck in a cycle.”

Going abroad to attend English summer camps in fashion
================================================== ========

VietNamNet Bridge – In order to help children have attractive summer holidays, many Vietnamese parents are ready to spend hundreds of millions of dong to send their children abroad to English summer camps.

While low and medium income workers queue up in front of children’s houses and summer clubs to register summer classes for their children, high income parents think of sending their children abroad to English summer camps. May and June are the good time for departure.

Summer camp services on high demand

A lot of overseas study consultancy firms now organize overseas summer camp programs, including ILA Vietnam, EF, VUS, First Alliances. Meanwhile, the most wanted destinations are Australia ((Sydney, Perth), the US (Los Angeles, New York, Boston), the UK (London, Manchester), Canada and Singapore.

A lot of firms have begun providing the services recently, after realizing the high demand from the students, who want to spend time to “discover the world” and get acquainted with the countries where they will go later to follow university study.

Le Manh Hung, a student in Ba Dinh district, said that his parents have agreed to fund his trip to the US this year. “I will have the chance to visit landscapes in Los Angeles, while I will also have the chance to practice English,” he said.

Nguyen Thi Hanh, the mother of Hung, said that she plans to send Hung to the US to follow the university study after Hung finishes high school. Therefore, she would like to send Hung to the US this summer, so that Hung can get acquainted with the living and learning environment in the US.

“A lot of my friends, who have their children studying in the US have advised me to send the son to summer camps in the US right now, so that the boy can gradually get adapted to the new environment,” she said.

Nguyen Phuong Hoa, a 11th grader of the Hanoi-Amsterdam High School recalled the happy days of the last summer. “In the first week in Singapore, we only spent time to visit the central area, supermarkets and parks. After that, we could visit Sensota island, Jurong bird’s park and the Singaporean National Zoo and many other interesting places,” she said. “They were wonderful days,” she added.

However, visiting sites is not the main goal of Vietnamese students. The most important thing that persuades parents to spend huge sums of money to allow children to take trips abroad, is that the trips can bring them the opportunities to practice English. Therefore, besides attending outdoors activities, students also have to study.

“We were asked to write essays and make presentations. We could talk about the landscapes we visited, or relate how we made purchases, or simply describe a seller we once met,” Hoa said.

She went on to say that the trips abroad are very useful and interesting, because they can help students become independent and easily adapt to new environments with differences in languages and cultures. Besides, the new cultural, social and historical knowledge about foreign countries, students can be more self-confident in communication in English.

Summer holiday camps reserved for the rich only

As the living standards of many families in big cities have been improved, parents not only try to send children to prestigious schools in Vietnam, but also draw up long term study plans for them. Many parents plan to send children abroad to follow university education, and they begin preparing for this since the children enter primary school.

It is clear that overseas summer camps are reserved only for children from well off families, because the camps are always very costly.

According to VTC, a trip, which lasts two to six weeks to the US, UK or Australia, costs between 3900 and 6000 dollars, while a trip to Singapore is cheaper, about 1400-2500 dollars.

Hanh, the mother of Hung, has also revealed that she has chosen a prestigious service provider, but the expenses are really high, at 6000 dollars, or 120 million dong.
