In October 2024 we brought lots of supplies to the Thien Tam Orphanage for the month. We coordinated with the orphanage caretakers on what they needed, and our team of volunteers did all the shopping at local markets. On the day of the visit, we loaded up a van and made the drive out to see the children. The children were excellent helpers and stacked everything on a table in the courtyard.
This month, we brought bags of rice, pork, milk, noodles, eggs, shrimp, cooking oil, ketchup, sriracha, detergent laundry, dish soap, shampoo, oyster sauce, and snacks.
This charity visit was made possible through kind donations from Elaine Nguyen, Long Pham, and Bichlien Nguyen. Thank you!
ABOUT THE THIEN TAM ORPHANAGE
Founded in 2004, the Thien Tam Orphanage lies 20 minutes south of Nha Trang’s city center, in Phuoc Dong ward. The orphanage is run by Nguyen Dinh Chi and his wife Nguyen Thi Kim Lien. A former orphan himself, Chi set up the orphanage in his home as a place of love and sanctuary for orphans in the community. They currently care for a small group of adolescents and one baby.
