In September 2024 we brought lots of food and had a great visit with the children at the Suoi Cat Charity Home. We had reached out to the caretakers ahead of time and asked what we could bring this month. We took the list to local markets and loaded up a van to make the journey.
When we arrived, the children took a break from their lessons and came out to greet our team. After taking some pictures, they helped carry all the food into the kitchens. On this visit, we brought sriracha, milk, ramen, seasonings, salt, soy sauce, cleaning products, body wash, shampoo, and school supplies. We also made a contribution to the school costs for the children’s tutoring lessons for the upcoming school term.
This charity visit was made possible through the kind donations from Steven Burger. Thank you!!!
ABOUT THE SUOI CAT CHARITY HOME
Suoi Cat is a poor community to the west of Nha Trang, composed of rural farming hamlets that live in poverty. The Suoi Cat Charity Home is a loving place that houses and cares for many of the community’s children whose families struggle to support and provide for them. The home is composed of adolescent and teenage girls who stay at the home year-round, sleep in dormitories, and have meals together in a communal dining hall. The nuns and caretakers who run the home come from the nearby Suoi Dau Catholic Church and provide a nurturing environment for all. They ensure the children attend local public schools and provide after school tutoring lessons. The same caretakers previously supported young boys in the community who stayed at the Suoi Dau Charity Home. Some of the same boys receive tutoring at Suoi Cat during the day, then return home to their families in the evening.
