This September, our team made a special visit to Dai An Orphanage, arriving with a van full of vital provisions and plenty of excitement!

Prior to our visit, we worked directly with the orphanage caretakers to build a customized wishlist, ensuring every donation directly addressed the children’s most pressing daily needs. The energy was contagious from the moment we pulled up—the kids came out to greet us and helped unload and arrange all the supplies in the main hall.

Thanks to the incredible support of our donor community, we pulled off a massive local market haul, fully stocking the orphanage pantry with essential groceries and household items:

  • Fresh Meat & Staples: Fresh pork, chicken, fish, large bags of rice, beans, noodles, and instant soup.
  • Nutritional Goods & Treats: Lotus seeds, goji berries, cooking seasonings, and delicious snacks.
  • Hygiene & Home Care: Essential toiletries and laundry washing powder.

Once the heavy lifting was done, we all cooled off and celebrated with popsicles together!

Generosity like yours makes this work possible. Thank you to everyone in our community for keeping these wonderful children nourished, comfortable, and smiling! Our thanks to Sharon Kelly, Stephen Milne, Scott Huynh, Anh Vo, Bellisa Bui, and David and Trini Nguyen.
