In November 2024 we brought food and supplies to the Ngoc Van Orphanage. After coordinating with the orphanage caretakers, we took a detailed list to local markets, bought everything they needed, and loaded up a van. When we arrived, the children were excellent helpers and assisted our team with bringing everything into the main common room. Then they helped to stack all the supplies nice and neat.
On this visit, we brought racks of eggs, quail eggs, meat pies, bao buns, ham, lots of milk, tangerines, baby formula, wipes, and toilet paper.
As a treat, our team handed out sweet drinks to the children.
This charity trip was made possible through the kind donations from Bennet Ribbeck, Elaine Nguyen, and Dan, Van, and Devin Haynes. Thank you!!!
ABOUT THE NGOC VAN ORPHANAGE
Located in the northern part of Khanh Hoa province, the Ngoc Van Orphanage was founded in 2020 after a big storm hit central Vietnam. There were many deaths from the storm, and several orphans were brought to the Ngoc Van Pagoda to be cared for by the monks there. Since then, the orphanage has grown and now cares for about 20 small children.
