In March 2025 we had brought supplies to the Martino Charity Home. Every month we contact the caretakers to learn their most pressing needs, then have local markets deliver everything directly to the home.
This month, we brought boxes of ramen, packages of noodles, cooking oil, seasonings, milk, cooking oil, seasonings, laundry detergent, and toiletries.
The caretakers sent us many fun pictures of the children from the month. Such amazing children!
This charity trip was made possible through the kind donations from Steven Burger, Koshu Takatsuji, Kateryna Lo, Daniel Cole, Jef O’Riley, and Pham Van Thuy Nguyen. Thank you!!!
ABOUT THE MARTINO CHARITY HOME
This loving home is located in rural Quang Tri province, 90 kilometers northwest of Hue. The area is home to the Bru-Van Kieu ethnic group, who have a unique language and culture, and extend from central Vietnam into Laos and Thailand. There is much poverty in this region, which puts undue pressure on families. The Martino Charity Home was founded to house and care for young children in the area whose families struggle to support and provide for them. The home is adjacent the Phuoc Tuyen Catholic Church and overseen by Father Nguyen Thi Thu Huong. About 33 children aged 6 to 11 live at the home year round. The nuns and caretakers provide housing, meals, and a loving environment for the children to grow and thrive. The children attend local elementary schools and receive extra tutoring at the home.
