In December 2025, our team had the privilege of visiting the Anh Dao Orphanage in Ninh Hoa. To ensure our contribution made a real impact, we worked closely with the caretakers to identify their most urgent requirements before heading to the local markets.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we were able to deliver a van filled to the brim with essential supplies, including:
- Nutrition: Rice, eggs, meat, seafood, mushrooms, and fresh vegetables.
- Specialty Foods: Vegan meat pies, seaweed, and various seasonings.
- Infant & Child Care: Baby formula, milk, and diapers.
- Hygiene Essentials: Shampoo, body wash, and laundry detergent.
- Treats: A variety of snacks and special sweets for all the children to enjoy!
Upon our arrival, the older children jumped in to help us unload the supplies into the common room. To top off the day, our volunteers shared sweet treats with all the children, bringing plenty of smiles to the group.
Thank you so much to our kind donors: Linh Lam, Nicole Londt, Elaine Nguyen, Thao Devine, Jef O’Riley, Florian De Rop, Autumn Mejia, and Nga Vuu. Thank you!!!
About the Anh Dao Orphanage
Established in 2004 by Buddhist nun Thich Nu An Son, the Anh Dao Orphanage is a safe haven for a large group of children in need. Located in Ninh Hoa, just 62 kilometers north of Nha Trang, this heartfelt home offers a structured and nurturing atmosphere where joy and kindness flourish. Visitors are always struck by the cheerful spirits of the children and the genuine delight of spending time talking, playing, and simply being present with them.
To support the children’s nourishment and help offset monthly expenses, Sister An Son cultivates a modest farm behind the orphanage, near the girls’ living quarters. The farm yields fresh vegetables that are served in daily meals, and any surplus is sold to contribute to the home’s upkeep. It’s a beautiful cycle of care, sustainability, and love in action.
