Education is at the heart of everything at Suoi Cat Charity Home. While the home provides a full-time residential dormitory for girls—covering all local school fees and living costs—it also opens its doors to local young boys who attend the home daily for supplemental tutoring and homework support before returning to their families each evening.
When we asked the caretakers how we could best enhance this vibrant learning environment for all the children, their response was clear: they needed proper study spaces. We were thrilled to step in and fully fund brand-new desks and tables!
Local artisans hand-crafted custom wooden study desks designed with lift-top lids, giving each child a personal space to store their books and school supplies. They also crafted long wooden tables for the common room, creating a warm space for shared studying, tutoring, and group activities.
To celebrate delivery day, our volunteers hosted a special arts and crafts party. Equipped with paints, small statues, and protective cardboard over the new tables, the children and volunteers spent a joyful afternoon creating art together.
This project was made possible entirely by the generous support of our wonderful donors Steven Burger and Phillip Boudreau. Thank you for investing in the education and future of these bright young students!
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.
