In July 2025, our team visited the Anh Dao Orphanage to deliver a month’s worth of food and essential supplies. We collaborated with the caregivers to create a detailed shopping list, then headed to local markets to buy everything. After loading up a van, we drove to the orphanage, where the children eagerly helped us unload and stack the supplies.
Our delivery included a wide variety of items:
- Food: bags of ice, milk, baby formula, yogurt, an assortment of meats and seafood, eggs, fresh vegetables, seasonings, and snacks.
- Supplies: soap, detergent, and shampoo.
As a special surprise, we brought toys for the younger children and threw a fun ice cream party, which brought lots of big smiles!
This visit was made possible by the generous donations from Shaun Minn, Vanessa Nguyen, Dao Giving Fund, Alysha Sims, Koshu Takatsuji, Kateryna Lo, Daniel Cole, Linh Lam, and Jef O’Riley. We also received a donation in memory of Hue Hao Nguyen.
We are incredibly grateful for everyone’s support and kindness!
About the Anh Dao Orphanage
Established in 2004 by Buddhist nun Thich Nu An Son, the Anh Dao Orphanage is a safe haven for a large group of children in need. Located in Ninh Hoa, just 62 kilometers north of Nha Trang, this heartfelt home offers a structured and nurturing atmosphere where joy and kindness flourish. Visitors are always struck by the cheerful spirits of the children and the genuine delight of spending time talking, playing, and simply being present with them.
To support the children’s nourishment and help offset monthly expenses, Sister An Son cultivates a modest farm behind the orphanage, near the girls’ living quarters. The farm yields fresh vegetables that are served in daily meals, and any surplus is sold to contribute to the home’s upkeep. It’s a beautiful cycle of care, sustainability, and love in action.
