We had a great visit to the Lac Thien Orphanage in September 2025, delivering a significant amount of food and essential supplies.
Before our trip, we spoke with the caretakers to create a detailed list of their needs. Our team purchased all the items from local markets, loaded a van, and made the drive out.
This month’s delivery included staples like cooking oil, yogurt, bags of rice, packages of noodles, soy sauce, diapers, seasonings, sugar, fish sauce, cleaning products, soap, dish soap, and bath towels.
To make the day special, our volunteers handed out treats for all the children to enjoy. It was a productive and lovely day!
This month’s food and supplies were made possible through kindhearted donation from Mustafa Kamani. Thank you!!!
ABOUT THE LAC THIEN ORPHANAGE
Founded in 2006, the Lac Thien Orphanage is part of the Phat Buu pagoda and lies north of Nha Trang in Ninh Hoa district. The orphanage’s origins are endearing. On a peaceful day, a baby was left at the gates of the pagoda. The nuns cared for him, and from that day on they have taken in orphan children from the area. The orphanage is run by the nuns of the pagoda and its head nun, Chon Minh. They rely entirely upon donations, most of which come from people in the community. There are about 30 children at the orphanage, from newborns to teenagers, and Lac Thien also takes in elderly whose family cannot care for them.
