In June 2021 we visited the Thien Tam Orphanage with essential supplies, then had a birthday party with the children. We learned that 4 children had recent birthdays, so arranged to do something special on this visit. We coordinated with the orphanage caretakers for the party in addition to their monthly allotment of general foodstuff and supplies.
The children helped carry everthing inside and stacked the provisions in the courtyard. We brought bags of rice, boxes of noodles, fresh pork and beef, bottles of cooking oil, bottles of fish sauce, bottles of soy sauce, seasonings, sugar, yogurt, and milk.
The 4 birthday children posed with their cakes and everyone sang happy birthday. The children then sat at the communal tables for a lunch feast. It was a wonderful day!
This charity visit and birthday party was made possible through the kind donation from Chuck and Phi Fiese. Thank you!!!
