In August 2025, our team had a wonderful visit to the Thien An Charity Home. After coordinating with the caretakers, we loaded a van with food and supplies and drove to the home.
When we arrived, we stacked all the donations on the courtyard steps while the children played. This month, we brought a variety of items, including groceries like sausages, ramen, milk, rice, and fresh meat, as well as pantry staples like noodles, sugar, and soy sauce. We also supplied cleaning products such as floor soap, laundry detergent, bleach, and trash bags. To help with the upcoming school year, we brought arts, crafts, and other school supplies. We also provided medical supplies and kitchen utensils.
For a special treat, we handed out slices of sweet cake for everyone to enjoy. It was a wonderful day spent with the children, and we were grateful for the opportunity to connect with them.
This visit was made possible by the generous donations of Dan, Van, and Devin Haynes, and Steven Burger. Thank you all for your support!
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.
