This May, we had the joy of celebrating the end of the school year alongside the incredible students and nuns at the Kim Son Charity School.
After coordinating with the nuns ahead of time, we wanted to make sure this year’s graduation and awards ceremony was truly unforgettable. To help the celebration ring out loud and clear, we were thrilled to provide the school with brand-new audio equipment for their speeches and presentations.
The final day of school was filled with big smiles and well-deserved recognition:
- Student Awards: The top-performing students were honored for their hard work and dedication.
- Teacher Appreciation: We distributed special gifts to the teachers to thank them for the amazing, life-changing work they do every day.
- Family Care Packages: Because these students come from underprivileged backgrounds, we arranged for every single child to take home a small care package of food for their families.
It was a truly wonderful day of community and joy!
Expanding Our Support: The New Acupuncture Clinic
The pagoda’s mission of care continues to grow. We are also incredibly proud to support their recently opened free acupuncture clinic, which provides vital, accessible healthcare to the community.
A Heartfelt Thank You None of these life-changing charity projects would be possible without the profound kindness and generosity of our anonymous donors. Thank you for making a real difference!
ABOUT THE KIM SON CHARITY SCHOOL
This wonderful organization offers free primary school education at their charity school, plus free sewing skills training at their free vocational school for those who live in Vinh Luong ward, 15 kilometers north of Nha Trang. Founded at the Kim Son Pagoda in 1994 by the Buddhist nun Thich Nu Dieu Phuc, it has long been a loving source of education for local youngsters. There are classrooms which grades 1 to 5 split in morning and afternoon shifts, and another room with donated sewing machines for those who want to learn tailoring skills. All the children are from poor families, and the school exists through the kindness of donations. The pagoda has also established an acupuncture clinic with certified technicians that offers free care to the community.
