This August, our team returned to Dai An Orphanage with a van packed full of essential provisions, joy, and warm smiles!
To ensure we met the immediate needs of the children and caretakers, we coordinated directly with the orphanage staff beforehand to fulfill their specific wishlist. Upon arrival, the kids eagerly jumped in to help unload and organize the supplies in the main common area.
Thanks to our generous supporters, a massive local market trip allowed us to stock their pantry with a complete supply of daily necessities:
- Fresh Foods & Staples: Fresh meats, local vegetables, large bags of rice, and packages of noodles.
- Pantry Essentials: Fish sauce, soy sauce, cooking seasonings, hot sauce, canned pâté, and assorted snacks.
- Hygiene & Household: Body wash, shampoo, daily toiletries, mosquito spray, and laundry detergent.
After unpacking, we set up a build-your-own ice cream sundae bar. The children loved serving themselves scoops of their favorite flavors topped with chocolate sauce!
Thank You to Our Donors
None of this would be possible without our incredible donor community: Sharon Kelly, Stephen Milne, Scott Huynh, and an anonymous donor. Thank you for helping us keep these wonderful children nourished, supported, and smiling!
