This past December, our team had the privilege of returning to Thien An Charity Home for a visit filled with smiles and gratitude. To ensure our contribution made the greatest impact, we worked closely with the caretakers beforehand to identify their most pressing needs.
We arrived with a van packed to the brim with essentials. While the children played nearby, we filled the courtyard steps with a comprehensive delivery of supplies, including:
- Pantry Staples: Rice, noodles, ramen, sausages, seasonings, soy sauce, and cooking oil.
- Nutrition & Treats: Milk, yogurt, cookies, jelly, and a special surprise—freshly sliced cake for everyone!
- Hygiene & Cleaning: Toiletries, paper napkins, detergent, and various cleaning products to keep the home bright and comfortable.
The day was a beautiful reminder of the power of community. This mission was only possible because of the incredible generosity of our supporters: Steven Burger, Roger Puckett, Littlechad Newfield, Peter Pham, Fronius Family Fund, and an anonymous donor. Thank you for helping us bring joy and comfort to Thien An!
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.
