On May 24, 2020 we had a fun trip to the Thien Tam Orphanage. We spoke with the coordinators ahead of time to learn of their current needs. Our team of volunteers took the list and went shopping at local markets and bought everything that the orphanage required.
On this visit, we brought packages of instant noodles, packages of milk, packages of porridge, packages of pork, cheeses, bottles of cooking oil, bottles of soy sauce, bottles of fish sauce, packages of noodles, frozen meats, bags of rice, dried squid, dried fish, seasonings, fresh vegetables, and many fresh fruits, including pineapple, bananas, rambutans, and watermelon.
The children set up tables and we sliced up the watermelon for a yummy treat. It was a great visit!
This charity trip was made possible through the kindhearted donations of John Paul Kim. Thank you!!!
