In January 2026, our volunteer team headed back to the Suoi Cat Charity Home for another impactful visit. After consulting with the dedicated caretakers to identify their most pressing needs, we hit the local markets to fulfill their entire wishlist.
Once the van was packed to the brim, we made the drive out to spend the day with the children.
Bringing the Essentials
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a sea of excited faces. This month, we were able to provide a comprehensive mix of infrastructure upgrades and daily necessities, including:
- Furniture & Gear: A new communal table, a heavy-duty ladder, and a large whiteboard for lessons.
- Education & Creativity: A massive haul of arts and crafts materials alongside essential school supplies.
- Kitchen & Pantry: Bulk milk, rice cakes, fresh fruit, seasonings, and various snacks.
- Hygiene & Home: Laundry detergent, body wash, shampoo, and assorted kitchen supplies.
Shared Moments
To make the day extra special, our team prepared refreshing sweet drinks for everyone. Seeing the room fill with laughter and smiles reminded us exactly why these trips matter so much.
A Note of Gratitude
This mission was only possible because of the generosity of our donors: Steven Burger, Kateryna Lo, Daniel Cole, Rosary Ha, Linh Lam, Meital Bahbut, and Thao Devine. Your kindhearted contributions directly improve the daily lives of these wonderful children. Thank you for your continued support!
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.
