In October 2024 our team brought lots of food and essential goods to the Suoi Cat Charity Home. After reaching out to the caretakers, we took a detailed list to local markets and bought everything they needed for the month. Next, we loaded up a van and made the drive out to the home.
When we arrived, some of the children were getting haircuts while others were in the courtyard playing badminton and soccer. They helped carry all the supplies inside.
This month, we brought cooking oil, sriracha, seasonings, boxes of ramen, soybeans, soft drinks, milk, sausages, shampoo, body wash, shampoo, toiletries, zip lock bags, gloves, detergent, dish soap, cleaning products and gloves, calculators, and office supplies.
Our team stayed while the children gathered in the dining halls for lunch, and helped prepare watermelon slices as a healthy dessert.
This charity visit was made possible through the kind donations from Steven Burger, Dao Giving Fund, and Alysha Sims. Thank you!!!
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.
