In April 2025, our team enjoyed a heartwarming visit to the Thien An Charity Home in the Khanh Hoa countryside. Following discussions with the dedicated caretakers to understand their needs, we compiled a detailed list of food and general supplies. Thanks to the generous donations of Pham Van Thuy Nguyen, Shaun Minn, and Steven Burger, our volunteers were able to purchase everything from local markets and deliver it to the home. We were greeted by the children in the courtyard as we unloaded the supplies, which included a variety of items such as boxes of ramen, sausages, cooking oil, fish sauce, milk, eggs, cookies, crackers, Jello, sugar, bar soap, and cleaning products. To bring extra joy, we treated all the children to ice cream cones. It was a fun visit!
