In September 2024 we visited the children at the Thien An Charity Home. We planned out our visit with the caretakers and brought lots of food and supplies for the month.
On the day of our visit, we loaded up a van and drove out to the home. When we arrived, we brought everything to the courtyard steps. This month we brought laundry detergent, fabric softener, wipes, markers, glue, watercolors, masks, brooms, chips, crackers, milk, ramen, pepper, sausages, yogurt, milk, coffee, bags, soy sauce, salt, seasonings, sriracha, and lanterns.
To celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, we handed out toy lanterns to all the children. Then our team prepared sweet tea drinks for all to enjoy. It was a lovely day!
This charity trip was made possible through the kind donations from Steven Burger and an anonymous donor. 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.
