In July 2024 our team of volunteers in Nha Trang drove north into Ninh Hoa, and brought lots of food and general supplies to the Anh Dao Orphanage. After speaking to the head nun at the orphanage, we wrote down a detailed list of items that they needed this month. Our team did lots of shopping at local markets, loaded up a van, and made the drive out to see the children.
On this visit, we brought bags of rice, varieties of meats, shrimp, fish, racks of eggs, milk, vegan meat pies, tofu, mushrooms, seaweed, rice, cakes, seasonings, cleaning products including laundry detergent, floor soap, and toilet cleaner, and many items for the kitchen including utensils, bowls, plates, chopsticks, cutting boards, dish towels, and sponges.
Our team stayed for lunch and helped prepare a big feast for everyone!
This large charity trip was made possible through the kindhearted donations from Shaun Minn, Linh Lam, Vanessa Nguyen, Alysha Sims, Koshu Takatsuji, Adahn Richie, Daniel Cole, Kateryna Lo, Jef O’Riley, Avani Macwan, Philip Doughty, Elaine Nguyen, David and Trini Nguyen, and Luanne Lemmer. THANK YOU!!!
ABOUT THE ANH DAO ORPHANAGE
Founded in 2004 by the Buddhist nun Thich Nu An Son, a large group of orphans are cared for at this wonderful home in Ninh Hoa, 62 kilometers north of Nha Trang. Visit the orphanage and you’ll find a well-organized and loving environment. The children are happy, and it’s a joy to sit, talk, and play with the little ones. To help provide nourishment to the children, and as a small means of earning funds, Sister An Son tends a small farm behind the orphanage, in front of the girl’s living quarters. The children eat the vegetables that are grown here, and the surplus can be sold to help pay for monthly expenses.
