Our October visit to the Lac Thien Orphanage was full of warmth, teamwork, and heartfelt connections.
By coordinating closely with the orphanage staff ahead of time, our goal was simple: ensure our delivery met the precise, everyday needs of the facility and kept their kitchen fully stocked.
When our volunteers pulled up with a van packed with supplies, the children eagerly came out to help, working side-by-side with our team to stack everything in the main courtyard. Thanks to your support, we were able to deliver a comprehensive mix of kitchen staples and essential provisions, including:
- Kitchen Staples: 50kg bags of rice, cooking oil, fish sauce, seasoning powders, sugar, and packages of noodles
- Daily Essentials: Toiletries, toothpaste, and packages of milk
To top off a wonderful afternoon, our team passed out cool yogurt popsicles—a sweet treat that brought big smiles all around!
Your Impact
None of this would be possible without the kindness and generosity of our donor community: the Kinghurst Foundation, Florian De Rop, Autumn Mejia, Tri Phung, and Katie Cao. Plus, a separate donation by Avani Macwan in memory of Prakash Macwan. Your contributions directly touch the daily lives of these wonderful children and support the dedicated staff who care for them every single day.
Thank you for making a difference!
ABOUT THE LAC THIEN ORPHANAGE
Founded in 2006, the Lac Thien Orphanage is part of the Phat Buu pagoda and lies north of Nha Trang in Ninh Hoa district. The orphanage’s origins are endearing. On a peaceful day, a baby was left at the gates of the pagoda. The nuns cared for him, and from that day on they have taken in orphan children from the area. The orphanage is run by the nuns of the pagoda and its head nun, Chon Minh. They rely entirely upon donations, most of which come from people in the community. There are about 30 children at the orphanage, from newborns to teenagers, and Lac Thien also takes in elderly whose family cannot care for them.
