In October 2024 we had a great visit to the Anh Dao Orphanage. We spoke with the head nun and made a big list of items to bring this month. On a rainy day, our team loaded up a van and made the drive north to see the children.
The children were excellent helpers, and worked with our team to bring everything into the main common room. This month, we brought bags of rice, milk, seafood, racks of eggs, pork, chicken, vegan chicken, vegan shrimp pie, tofu, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and raincoats.
When everyone was gathered inside, we handed out sweet cakes for all to enjoy.
This big charity trip was sponsored by Christopher Dang, Littlechad Newfield, Nicole Ilunga-Cortes, Luan Nguyen, David and Trini Nguyen, and an anonymous donor. Thank you!!!
ABOUT THE ANH DAO ORPHANAGE
Founded in 2004 by the Buddhist nun Thich Nu An Son, a large group of orphans are cared for at this wonderful home in Ninh Hoa, 62 kilometers north of Nha Trang. Visit the orphanage and you’ll find a well-organized and loving environment. The children are happy, and it’s a joy to sit, talk, and play with the little ones. To help provide nourishment to the children, and as a small means of earning funds, Sister An Son tends a small farm behind the orphanage, in front of the girl’s living quarters. The children eat the vegetables that are grown here, and the surplus can be sold to help pay for monthly expenses.
