In October 2024 we brought lots of food and general supplies to the Loc Tho Charity School in Nha Trang. To support the children’s breakfasts and lunches, we coordinated with the caretakers on a big shopping list for the month. Our team loaded up a van and made the drive out to the school.
The children took a break from their studies and came out to greet our team. This month, we brought bags of rice, boxes of ramen noodles, sugar, milk, cooking oil, vegan pork, vegan fish sauce, vegan beef, fresh vegetables, seasonings, laundry detergent, and dish soap.
Then everyone got ice cream with chocolate syrup! There were lots of big smiles all around.
This charity trip was made possible through the kind donations from Dan, Van, and Devin Haynes, David and Trini Nguyen, Nicole Londt, Linh Lam, Shaun Minn, Philip Doughty, and Vanessa Nguyen. Thank you!!!
ABOUT THE LOC THO CHARITY SCHOOL
The Loc Tho Pagoda has had a charity school since 1991, which was founded by Sister Thich Nu Dieu Y. Sister Dieu Y dedicated her life to the children and passed away in 2014. The school is now run by the amazing and loving nuns of the Loc Tho pagoda. It’s a free primary school for poor children in the community whose parents cannot afford the costs of a public education. Textbooks, uniforms, shoes, school supplies, and teachers’ fees are all paid for by the school, and all children are welcome. The school provides breakfast and lunch for the students. The pagoda also cares for several orphans and foster children.
