In July 2025, our team had a productive visit to the Suoi Cat Charity Home. We connected with the caretakers beforehand to get a comprehensive list of their most pressing needs for the month. We then purchased all the requested items from local markets, loaded up a van, and drove out to the home.
When we arrived, the children greeted us as we unloaded and arranged the supplies in the common room. This month’s delivery included:
- Essential Provisions: milk, bags of rice, cookies, toothpaste, boxes of ramen, siracha, cooking oil, wipes, seasonings, and body wash.
- Supplies: office and school supplies.
As a special surprise, we prepared sweet tea with boba for the children, which brought many smiles and much joy to their faces.
This visit was made possible by the generous contribution from Steven Burger and two anonymous donors. We extend our sincere gratitude for all the kindness and 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.
