Christmas Visit – December 16, 2012

The Quan Am Foundation brought Christmas presents to FIVE places! Lucette Dillon of New Zealand once again brought the generosity and kindness of her foundation to the children of Vietnam. She had already made wonderful visits to the Loc Tho Charity School and the Mai Am Anh Dao Orphanage earlier this year. Lucette had raised money from kindhearted donors in New Zealand, and contacted us last month about doing something special for the holiday season. We leapt into action, and our team in Nha Trang outdid themselves once again.

Lucette agreed to buy Christmas presents for every one of the organizations that we assist, including all orphanages, charity schools, and homes for children. Our team contacted each place and got an accurate head count of both boys and girls, and went about packaging special gift bags for each child. At present, we assist 10 needy places near Nha Trang, with about 500 children being cared for by the nuns that run them.
On December 16, 2012 our team made visits to five places, handing out Christmas present to every single child. They visited the Lac Thien Orphanage, the Kim Son Charity School, the Hoa Sen Charity School, the Phu Quang Orphanage, and the Mai Am Anh Dao Orphanage. It was a busy day for our volunteers, but everyone had so much fun bringing surprise and joy to the children. Our team was led by Ngoc, Loan, and Nhan, who organized everything and made the visits a huge success.

This was the first of three visits made possible by the Quan Am Foundation, and you can read about the other visits in our next posts. Thank you Lucette and everyone who donated to her amazing cause! Visit their website here: http://www.quanamfoundation.org/
