In November 2024 we had a great visit with the children at the Suoi Cat Charity Home. We coordinated with the caretakers and asked which items we could bring this month. We did all the shopping at local markets, loaded up a van, and made the drive out to the home.
When we arrived, the children we’re excellent helpers and brought all the items into the common room. This month, we brought cooking oil, sriracha, boxes of ramen, sugar, fresh vegetables, sausages, coffee, salt, seasonings, fresh fish, canned fish, bun cakes, varieties of beans, shampoo, body wash, toiletries, gloves, basket, wipes, hand wash, and laundry detergent.
As a treat we handed out popsicles to the children. Such a fun day!
This charity visit was made possible through the kind donations from Steven Burger, Philip Doughty, Nicole Londt, Linh Lam, and Shaun Minn. 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.
