I had been happily working in the same company as a graphics designer for over ten years, so it came as a huge
surprise when one day, without warning I was made redundant. In fact, most of the people in my department lost
their jobs that day. When the personnel manager gave me the bad news, she explained that the company had been
taken over by a big multinational corporation that was demanding a lot of changes.
So, one day I was in a comfortable job with a generous salary and plenty of annual leave and the next day I was
unemployed. While it was nice to have time on my hands, I knew I would have to find a job fairly quickly. I soon
found out that it wasn't so easy. No one was taking on new staff. Every morning I searched the Classified Ads, but
there was nothing suitable, not even part-time positions.
Finally, a friend asked me if I was interested in helping out in her new cake shop. She needed somebody to deal
with customers and to help her with the cake designs. At first, she could only pay me by the hour at rather a low
hourly rate. To my surprise, I love the work.
I've been a cake designer for three years now. I'm so glad I didn't turn down my friend's job offer. We have so
much work and now I'm no longer an employee. My friend and I are now partners in the best cake shop in town.

Recently, we made a trip to visit Dong Ho village to meet the old artisan – Nguyen Huu Sam. The old house owned
by the artisan is situated in a long alley of the village. On the walls of the house there are many folk paintings in
different genres, from daily life paintings to landscape paintings shown in a set of “four seasons”.
Mr. Sam told us about his past. When he was three years old, he was instructed in the craft of making Dong Ho
paintings by his father. At five, he could help his father apply the Dong Ho paintings, and learn how to print the
paper with proper colours. At seven, he was able to draw with a pen and make the most difficult samples. In the
1940s, this craft flourished. At that time, he was assigned by his parents to take the paintings to the market for sale.
Mr. Sam said that 17 families in the village have been engaged in making Dong Ho paintings. In 1967, when the
local authorities assigned him to restore the traditional genre of Dong Ho folk paintings, he gathered 50 villagers
with professional skills and collected hundreds of woodblocks to establish the Dong Ho Painting Cooperative.
Thanks to his efforts, such famous painting as "Rat's wedding", “Rooster”, “Scene of jealousy” and “Writing

In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village of Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional craft of
weaving flowered mats. The mat's high quality makes them popular domestically, and they are also exported to
markets worldwide. In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started
here some 50 years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous mat weaving village in
Ninh Binh province. However, the technique of weaving sedge mats in Long Dinh, as compared with other places,
is somewhat different. Long Dinh branded mats are thicker and have more attractive colours and pattems.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs during the dry
season, from January to April. Weavers have to work their hardest in May and June, otherwise, when the rainy
season starts in July, they will have to put off finishing their products till the next dry season. No matter how much
work it requires, Long Dinh mat producers stick with this occupation, as it brings a higher income than growing
rice.
This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly 1,000 households
in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet market demands, Long Dinh mat weavers have
created more products in addition to the traditional sedge mats. Particularly, they are producing a new type of
mat made from the dried stalks of water hyacinth, a common material in the Mekong Delta.
