In May 2025 we made our monthly visit to the Thien Tam Orphanage with food and general supplies. The orphanage caretakers had provided us with a detailed list of items they needed, and our team of volunteers bought everything at local markets before heading out.
The children were excellent helpers and organized everything on a table in the courtyard. This month, we brought fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, milk, sriracha, bags of rice, sugar, bottles of cooking oil, seasonings, packages of noodles, egg noodles, rice noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, yogurt, sesame seeds, body wash, baby formula, shampoo, sesame seeds, fish, and meats.
This charity trip was made possible through the kind donations from the Dao Giving Fund and anonymous donors. A donation was also made in memory of Hue Hao Nguyen. Our thanks to all the donors.
ABOUT THE THIEN TAM ORPHANAGE
Founded in 2004, the Thien Tam Orphanage lies 20 minutes south of Nha Trang’s city center, in Phuoc Dong ward. The orphanage is run by Nguyen Dinh Chi and his wife Nguyen Thi Kim Lien. A former orphan himself, Chi set up the orphanage in his home as a place of love and sanctuary for orphans in the community. They currently care for a small group of adolescents and one baby.
