In August 2024 we had a fun visit with the children at the Thien Tam Orphanage. We had reached out to the caretakers to learn what food and supplies we could bring this month. They provided us with a detailed list and our team did all the shopping. We also learned of a birthday, so planned to have a fun party for everyone.
On the day of our visit, we loaded up a van and drove out to see the children. We stacked all the provisions in the courtyard and the children helped unpack the food and supplies. We brought bags of rice, meat, fish, baby formula, milk, condensed milk, cooking oil, noodles, seasonings, sugar, detergent, body wash, shampoo, and diapers for the new baby.
For the birthday party, we brought out a big cake for everyone to share. Then our team stayed for a nice lunch with the children and caretakers. It was a lovely day!
This charity trip was made possible through the kind donations from Chuck and Phi Fiese. Thank you!!!
