In December, we completed our monthly support mission to Song Lo Orphanage. By coordinating directly with the nuns, we ensured that the specific needs of the orphanage were met, hand-delivering a comprehensive supply of food and hygiene products.
Items Provided:
- Nutrition: Fresh vegetables, vegan meats, tofu, beans, noodles, and ramen.
- Household Essentials: Detergent, toiletries, insect spray, and batteries.
- Care: Raincoats and hygiene products.
To add a personal touch, our team hosted a birthday celebration for one of the children, providing a cake and gifts for all the children. All of this was possible through the kindness of our donor, Nga Vuu. Thank you for your kindness toward the children of Song Lo.
ABOUT THE SONG LO ORPHANAGE
The history of the Song Lo Orphanage’s beginnings is heartwarming. As the story goes, a Buddhist monk was traveling in the countryside when he encountered a woman who said she could not care for her 2 children. She left the babies with the monk and fled. Not expecting to have 2 babies to care for, the monk made his way to the Song Lo pagoda, and the head nun at the pagoda, Sister Cat, agreed to care for the children. From that point on, orphans have been either brought to the pagoda, or abandoned at their gates. Formed in 2012, the Song Lo Orphanage cares for a small group of young children. Located adjacent the Son Lo pagoda, it’s a small facility deep in the countryside west of Nha Trang.
