We had a wonderful visit with the children at the Loc Tho Charity School in October 2025!
As part of our regular monthly support, our team purchased a variety of essential food and supplies at local markets and drove out to the school to deliver them. The provisions included:
- Pantry Staples: Bags of ice, boxes of noodles, sugar, cooking oil, and laundry detergent.
- Fresh & Vegan Foods: Varieties of mushrooms, tofu sheets, fresh vegetables, seasonings, vegan pork, vegan beef, vegan fish sauce, vegan meat patties, and milk.
After stacking the provisions in the courtyard, we took some time to visit the children in their classrooms and hand out fun snack bags.
Next, the children took a break from their studies and assembled in the main dining hall. Our team then prepared boba tea drinks for everyone! There were lots of smiles and enthusiastic “cheers!” as the children enjoyed their special treat.
This month’s delivery of food and provisions was made possible through donations from Luanne Lemmer, Linh Lam, Khoi Luong, Jef O’Riley, and Florian De Rop. Thank you!!!
We look forward to continuing our support for the wonderful children and staff at Loc Tho Charity School.
ABOUT THE LOC THO CHARITY SCHOOL
The Loc Tho Charity School, established in 1991 by Sister Thich Nu Dieu Y, has a long-standing history of providing free education to underprivileged children. Sister Dieu Y dedicated her life to this cause, and after her passing in 2014, the compassionate nuns of the Loc Tho Pagoda have continued her incredible work.
This primary school offers a vital service to the community, providing a free education for children whose families cannot afford public schooling. The school covers all expenses, including textbooks, uniforms, shoes, school supplies, and teachers’ fees, ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn. Beyond academics, Loc Tho Charity School also provides breakfast and lunch for its students and offers a nurturing home for several orphans and foster children.
