Foundation (engineering)
A foundation is the element of a structure which connects it to the ground, and transfers loads from the structure to the ground. Foundations are generally considered either shallow or deep. Foundation engineering is the application of soil mechanics and rock mechanics (Geotechnical engineering) in the design of foundation elements of structures.
Viet House Foundation
Viet House Foundation is an effort to raise funds to build basic houses in Vietnam for the poor people, usually impoverished single moms with small children living in deplorable huts. It was launched on the day after Thanksgiving Day in 2014. Within 3 weeks, it received enough donation to build the very first house which was transferred to the recipient in March 2015 in Can Gio, Vietnam. Within 2015, the foundation built three houses and got a start on Viet House #4.
