We recently visited the Suoi Cat Charity Home to deliver essential supplies and fully sponsor the children’s education costs for the upcoming school term.
Before our trip, we worked with the home’s caretakers to identify their most urgent needs. We then purchased all the requested items from local markets, loaded up a van, and headed out. The children greeted us warmly when we arrived, helping us unload and organize the supplies.
The delivery included a variety of food items like milk, chili sauce, cooking oil, noodles, and meats, as well as hygiene and cleaning products such as shampoo, toothpaste, and laundry detergent.
We also provided comprehensive support for the children’s schooling. We bought new uniforms, textbooks, backpacks, and shoes, and covered all school fees and supplies to ensure the kids are fully prepared for a successful year.
This visit was made possible by the generosity of Steven Burger, Alysha Sims, Koshu Takatsuji, Kateryna Lo, Daniel Cole, and Linh Lam. We extend our deepest thanks to them for their support.
ABOUT THE SUOI CAT CHARITY HOME
Suoi Cat is a poor community to the west of Nha Trang, composed of rural farming hamlets that live in poverty. The Suoi Cat Charity Home is a loving place that houses and cares for many of the community’s children whose families struggle to support and provide for them. The home is composed of adolescent and teenage girls who stay at the home year-round, sleep in dormitories, and have meals together in a communal dining hall. The nuns and caretakers who run the home come from the nearby Suoi Dau Catholic Church and provide a nurturing environment for all. They ensure the children attend local public schools and provide after school tutoring lessons. The same caretakers previously supported young boys in the community who stayed at the Suoi Dau Charity Home. Some of the same boys receive tutoring at Suoi Cat during the day, then return home to their families in the evening.
