In May 2025 we had a fun visit to the Suoi Cat Charity Home. We had spoken with the caretakers beforehand and took down a detailed list of items they needed this month. Our team then bought everything at local markets, loaded up a van, and made the drive out to the home.
We stacked everything inside and the children came out to greet our team. This month we brought new school backpacks, packages of noodles, milk, meat pies, soft drinks, seasonings, powdered drinks, tea, snacks, crackers, fabric softener, floor soap, dish soap, and fun neck pillows with hoods.
The children were so excited about the new backpacks, and many had fun with the pillow hoods. There were many smiles!
This visit was made possible through the kind donations from Steven Burger and an anonymous donor. 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.
