In October 2025, we had a special visit to the Anh Dao Orphanage. When we asked the caretakers how we could best support the children’s education—a core pillar of our mission—they immediately pointed to a need for new computers for the teenagers. Access to research tools and the ability to complete school assignments is absolutely essential for these young adults to maximize their opportunities in life.
On our next visit, we were thrilled to surprise them with two brand-new laptop computers! Two of the high schoolers eagerly helped us set them up, beaming with pride and excitement. To make the day extra special for everyone, we also brought popcorn and snack bags for all the little ones. It truly was a wonderful day of connection and support!
This investment in the children’s futures was made possible entirely by the generosity of our donors: Bellisa Bui, David and Trini Nguyen, Nicole Londt, Dan, Van, and Devin Haynes, Steven Burger, an anonymous donor, and a donation in memory of Hue Hao Nguyen.
Thank you for helping us put the tools for success directly into their hands!
About the Anh Dao Orphanage
Established in 2004 by Buddhist nun Thich Nu An Son, the Anh Dao Orphanage is a safe haven for a large group of children in need. Located in Ninh Hoa, just 62 kilometers north of Nha Trang, this heartfelt home offers a structured and nurturing atmosphere where joy and kindness flourish. Visitors are always struck by the cheerful spirits of the children and the genuine delight of spending time talking, playing, and simply being present with them.
To support the children’s nourishment and help offset monthly expenses, Sister An Son cultivates a modest farm behind the orphanage, near the girls’ living quarters. The farm yields fresh vegetables that are served in daily meals, and any surplus is sold to contribute to the home’s upkeep. It’s a beautiful cycle of care, sustainability, and love in action.
