In November 2024 we brought lots of food and general supplies to the Anh Dao Orphanage. We had spoken with the head nun and wrote down items to bring this month. On the day of our visit, our team loaded up a van and drove into Ninh Hoa to see the children.
The children came out to the driveway and helped unload the van. This month, we brought pots, pans, kitchen utensils, bags of rice, milk, salty squid, seafood, racks of eggs, garlic, shallots, cooking oil, chili sauce, sugar, soy sauce, seasoning, vegan pork, tofu sheets, seaweed, mushrooms, and snacks.
As a fun treat, our volunteers prepared sweet pudding for all the children.
This charity trip was sponsored by Philip Doughty, Erin Pilkington, David and Trini Nguyen, Bryan Tran, Jamie Tran, Bichlien Nguyen, Long Pham, and an anonymous donor. 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.
