In December 2024 we had a Christmas party at the Suoi Cat Charity Home. We spoke with the caretakers ahead of time about bringing food and supplies for the month, plus some special gifts for the children at Christmastime.
When we arrived, the children gathered in the common room and helped stack all the supplies we brought. This month, we brought cooking oil, sriracha, boxes of ramen, sausages, seasonings, soy milk, coconut treats, soft drinks, shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, toiletries, laundry detergent, office supplies, bath towels, and cleaning products.
We also brought Christmas decorations and presents for all the children. We also handed out bubble tea drinks for everyone. At the end of the visit, our team went out to the courtyard with the children for fun and games. It was a lovely visit!
This charity visit was made possible through the kind donations from Steven Burger and Hiep Nguyen. Thank you!!!
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.
