In July 2024 we had a great visit with the children at the Thien An Charity Home and School. We had reached out to the caretakers and learned which items they needed most this month. Our team of volunteers in Nha Trang bought everything at local markets, loaded up a van, and made the drive out to see the children.
On this visit, we brought packages of milk, boxes of ramen, bags of rice, rice crackers, snacks, yogurt, seasonings, laundry detergent, bottled water, racks of eggs, bottles of cooking oil, and canned pork. We also brought lots of toys and games! So fun!
As a fun surprise, our team handed out ice cream popsicles for the little ones to enjoy. It was a lovely visit!
This charity trip was made possible through donations from Elaine Nguyen, David and Trini Nguyen, Long Pham, Bichlien Nguyen, and two anonymous donors. Thank you!!!
ABOUT THE THIEN AN CHARITY HOME AND SCHOOL
This loving place is located in the hilly countryside of Khanh Hoa province. There are very few schools in this region and illiteracy among children is high. The local Thien An Catholic Church sought to help the children complete their schooling, so started the Thien An Charity Home and School. The children have housing accommodations and receive their meals in a communal dining hall. Classrooms have been set up so the children can all receive the education they richly deserve.
