In May 2025 we had food delivered to the Martino Charity Home. After reaching out to the caretakers, we took their detailed list of food to local markets and had it all delivered directly to the home. This month, we brought varieties of meats, boxes of instant noodles, mayonnaise, packages of noodles, seasonings, milk, soy sauce, and cooking oil.
We received many adorable pictures of the children from the month, including an ice cream party. So many fun smiles!
This charity trip was made possible through the kind donations from Steven Burger. Thank you!!!
ABOUT THE MARTINO CHARITY HOME
This loving home is located in rural Quang Tri province, 90 kilometers northwest of Hue. The area is home to the Bru-Van Kieu ethnic group, who have a unique language and culture, and extend from central Vietnam into Laos and Thailand. There is much poverty in this region, which puts undue pressure on families. The Martino Charity Home was founded to house and care for young children in the area whose families struggle to support and provide for them. The home is adjacent the Phuoc Tuyen Catholic Church and overseen by Father Nguyen Thi Thu Huong. About 33 children aged 6 to 11 live at the home year round. The nuns and caretakers provide housing, meals, and a loving environment for the children to grow and thrive. The children attend local elementary schools and receive extra tutoring at the home.
