This January, we headed back to Thien An Charity Home for a day that was as productive as it was heartwarming. After chatting with the caretakers to see what they needed most, we loaded up the van and delivered a mountain of essentials.
This month’s supplies included:
- Pantry Staples: Rice, cooking oil, noodles, pho, seasonings, and canned pate.
- Health & Hygiene: Diapers, body wash, and cleaning supplies.
- Nutrition: Yogurt, flavored milk, and sausages.
Of course, we had to include some treats! The kids loved the chocolate milk we prepared, but the highlight for our volunteers was watching the children play. While some headed for the playsets, others decided the empty delivery boxes were the best toys in the world. Is there anything cuter?
A huge thank you to our donors Steven Burger, Nicole Londt, and a donation in memory of Hue Hao Nguyen. You aren’t just sending supplies; you’re sending smiles.
ABOUT THE THIEN AN CHARITY HOME AND SCHOOL
This loving place is located in the hilly countryside of Khanh Hoa province. There are very few schools in this region and illiteracy among children is high. The local Thien An Catholic Church sought to help the children complete their schooling, so started the Thien An Charity Home and School. The children have housing accommodations and receive their meals in a communal dining hall. Classrooms have been set up so the children can all receive the education they richly deserve.
