In July 2024 we had a great visit to the Loc Tho Charity School. We had reached out to the school administrators and asked what we could bring this month. Summer school continues for many of the children and the school is also preparing for the upcoming fall term. In addition to food for the children’s lunches, they asked for new schoolbooks. We were happy to help!
When we arrived, we stacked all the books and other supplies in the courtyard. For this month’s food, we brought bags of rice, cooking oil, soy sauce, packages of noodles, sugar, and seasonings.
As a treat, our team prepared bubble tea drinks for all the children to enjoy. It was a lovely day!
This charity visit was sponsored by the donations from Tri Phung, Dao Giving Fund, Lisa O’Brien Payne, Youngsoo Minn, and Vien Lam and Kevin Spring. Thank you!!!
ABOUT THE LOC THO CHARITY SCHOOL
The Loc Tho Pagoda has had a charity school since 1991, which was founded by Sister Thich Nu Dieu Y. Sister Dieu Y dedicated her life to the children and passed away in 2014. The school is now run by the amazing and loving nuns of the Loc Tho pagoda. It’s a free primary school for poor children in the community whose parents cannot afford the costs of a public education. Textbooks, uniforms, shoes, school supplies, and teachers’ fees are all paid for by the school, and all children are welcome. The school provides breakfast and lunch for the students. The pagoda also cares for several orphans and foster children.
